  • Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R. Assertion A: Two metallic spheres are charged to the same potential.

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.

Assertion A: Two metallic spheres are charged to the same potential. One of them is hollow and another is solid, and both have the same radii. Solid sphere will have lower charge than the hollow one.

Reason R: Capacitance of metallic spheres depend on the radii of spheres.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Option: 1

Both and are true and is the correct explanation of


Option: 2

is true but is false


Option: 3

is false but is true 4.


Option: 4

Both and are true but is not the correct explanation of A


Answers (1)

As we know, capacitance of spherical conductor

C=4 \pi \varepsilon_0 R

So, capacitance does not depend on its charge, it depends only on the radius of the conductor (R).

Therefore, assertion is false, R is true.
