Question
For two statements are given-one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) as given below.
  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): Conductors having equal positive charge and volume, must also have same potential.
Reason (R): Potential depends only on charge and volume of conductor.

Answer

  1. A is false, and R is also false.

Explanation:

Electric potential of a charged conductor depends not only on the amount of charge and volume but also on the shape of the conductor. Hence if their shapes are different, they may have different electric potential.
