Statement 1 : At any point inside the sphere, electrostatic potential is 100 volt.

Question

Each of these questions contains two statements: Statement-1(Assertion) and Statement-2 (Reason). Choose the correct answer (ONLY ONE option is correct) from the following - 

(a) Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true. 

(b) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1. 

(c) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1. 

(d) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false.

This question contains Statement-1 and Statement-2. Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements.

The electrostatic potential on the surface of a charged solid conducting sphere is 100 volts. Two statements are made in this regard.

Statement 1 : At any point inside the sphere, electrostatic potential is 100 volt. 

Statement 2 : At any point inside the sphere, electric field is zero.

Answer 1

Correct option: (b) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.

Explanation:

Since F inside is zero so work done to move the charge is also zero hence potential remains constant.
