NEETPhysicsCapacitance
Assertion (A): The capacity of a conductor, under give circumstances, remains constant irrespective of the chang present on it. Reason (R): Capacity depends on size and shape (d ) conductor and also on the surrounding medium.
Options
- AIf both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are True and the Reason ( (R )) is a correct explanation of Assertion (A)
- BIf both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are True but Reason (( R ) ) is not a correct explanation of the Assertio
- CIf Assertion (A) is True but the Reason (R) is False.
- DAssertion (A) is False but the Reason (R) is True.
Correct answer
A. If both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are True and the Reason ( (R )) is a correct explanation of Assertion (A)
Step-by-step solution
Charge present on a conductor determines its potential. Capacity is a function of size and shape of the conductor and of the surrounding medium. Capacitance in case of parallel plate capacitor, (C= K A d ) where (K ) is dielectric constant of medium, (A ) is area of plates and (d ) is distance between them.
