12th Class Physics Electrostatics & Capacitance Question Bank Assertion And Reason (MCQs) - Electric Potential and Capacitance

  • question_answer
    ASSERTION: At a point in space, the electric field points towards north. In the region, surrounding this point the rate of change of potential will be zero along the east and west.
    REASON: Electric field due to a charge in the space around the charge.

    A) If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

    B) If both assertion and reason are true and reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

    C) If assertion is true but reason is false.

    D) If both assertion and reason are false.

    E) If assertion is false but reason is true.

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Since the electric field is directed from south to north hence rate of change of potential will be along this direction, but it is zero along east and west.
