Assertion : A thin uncharged metallic plate placed in between the two charged plates of a capacitor results in an arrangement equivalent to two capacitors in a series combination. The equivalent capacitance of this combination stays the same irrespective of the position of the metallic plate in between the plates of the capacitor.
Reason : The change in the position of the central metallic plate, results in the decrease in plate separation of one capacitor that is compensated by the increase in plate separation for the other.
