Practicing Success
Given below are two statements: Statement I: Electric potential at every point inside a uniformly charges conducting sphere is equal to that on its surface. Statement II: Work done by an electrostatic field in moving a charge from one point to another depends on the length of the path taken to go from one point to the other. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below: |
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct |
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect |
The correct answer is Option (3) → Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect Statement I: Electric potential inside solid conducting sphere is constant and equal to the value on its surface. Statement II: Electrostatic force is conservative in nature. It does not depend on the path followed. Hence, Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect. |
