Physics · Electrostatic Potential
हिन्दीGiven below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): The capacitance of a conductor depends directly on the magnitude of charge placed on it. Reason (R): For an isolated conductor, the ratio of its charge \( Q \) to its electric potential \( V \) is a constant determined solely by its geometry. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
View Answer & Solution
Correct answer · Option D
is false but (R) is true.
Explanation
Capacitance \( C \) is independent of \( Q \) and \( V \); hence Assertion is false. Reason correctly defines the constant ratio \( Q/V \) dependent only on geometry.
