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 conductor and also on the surrounding medium.
Options
- AIf both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are True and the Reason () is a correct explanation of Assertion (A).
- BIf both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are True but Reason ((\mathrm{R})) is not a correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
- 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 () 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=\frac{K \varepsilon A}{d}) where is dielectric constant of medium, is area of plates and is distance between them.
