Assertion : Charge never flows from a condenser of higher capacity...
Assertion : Charge never flows from a condenser of higher capacity to the condenser of lower capacity.
Reason : Flow of charge between two bodies connected by a thin wire is determined by the charges on them.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
D. If both assertion and reason are false.
Step-by-step solution
Charge flows from a body at higher potential to the body at lower potential. A condenser of higher capacity may be at higher potential. So the charge may flow from it to the condenser of lower capacity, which may be at lower potential. Therefore, assertion and reason are wrong.
