  1. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
  2. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  3. A is true, but R is false.
  4. A is false, and R is also false.
Assertion (A): Electric potential of the earth is zero.
Reason (R): The electric field due to the earth is zero.

Answer

  1. A is true, but R is false.
Explanation:
Earth is a good conductor of very large size. When some small charge is given to earth, its potential does not change. Hence potential of earth is assumed to be zero. It is just like sea level which does not alter materially when water is added to it or removed from it. Thus, the potential of all other bodies are measured with reference to the earth. Forth is, if the connection of a charged body to the ground by a metallic conductor would cause electrons to flow to that body from ground, the body is at positive potential. Conversely, is also true. ln either case the conductor is neutralized and brought to zero potential. ln fact the atmosphere does possess significant electric field.

Assertion (A): Three equal charges are situated on a circle of radius r such that they form on equilateral triangle, then the electric field intensity at the centre is zero.
Reason (R): The force on unit positive charge at the centre, due to the three equal charges are represented by the three sides of a triangle taken in the same order. Therefore, electric field intensity at centre is zero.
