Question

STATEMENT -1 : Induced charge does not contribute to electric field or potential at a give point .
STATEMENT -2 : A point charge `q_0` is kept outside a solid metallic sphere , the electric field inside the sphere is zero.
A. if both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is correct explanation of the Assertion.
B. If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
C. if Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.
D. if both Assertion and Reason are false

Answer 1

Correct Answer - d
Electric field due to `q_(0)` is towards left and is `(kq_(0))/(r^(2))` but elelctric field due to induced charge is towards right and will have same magnitude `(kq_(0))/(r^(2))` so that electric field inside the sphere is zero.
