Electric Potential & Equipotentials
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion and the other is labelled as Reason
Assertion A: Work done in moving a test charge between two points inside a uniformly charged spherical shell is zero, no matter which path is chosen.
Reason R: Electrostatic potential inside a uniformly charged spherical shell is constant and is same as that on the surface of the shell.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Show answer and solution
Answer: (b)
- R: inside a shell , so everywhere inside, same as the surface. True.
- A: since , for any path. True.
- R directly gives A, so the answer is (b).
