Q.2 These questions consist of two statements, each printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering
these questions, you are required to choose any one of the following four responses.
(a) If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the
Assertion.
(b) If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the
Assertion.
(c) If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
(d) If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

1. Assertion: If the distance between parallel plates of a capacitor is halved and dielectric constant is
three times, then the capacitance becomes 6 times.
Reason : Capacity of the capacitor does not depend upon the nature of the material.
2 Assertion : Two concentric charged shells are given. The potential difference between the shells
depends on charge of inner shell.

Reason : Potential due to charge of outer shell remains same at every point inside the sphere.
3 Assertion : Electric field inside a conductor is zero.

Reason: The potential at all the points inside a conductor is same.

4 Assertion : Work done in moving a charge between any two points in an electric field is
independent of the path followed by the charge, between these points.

Reason: Electrostatic force is a non-conservative force.

5 Assertion : Polar molecules do not have permanent dipole moment.

Reason : In polar molecules, the centres of positive and negative charges coincide even when there
is no external field.
6 Assertion: A capacitor can be given only a limited quantity of charge.

Reason: Charge stored by a capacitor depends on the shape and size of plates of capacitor and the
surrounding medium.
7 Assertion: Electron move away from a region of lower potential to a region of higher potential.
Reason: An electron has a negative charge.
8. Assertion: A charged capacitor is disconnected from a battery. Now, if its plate are separated
further, the potential energy will fall.
Reason Energy stored in a capacitor is equal to the work done in charging it.

 9. Assertion: Due to two-point charges electric field and electric potential can't be zero at some
point simultaneously
Reason Field is a vector quantity and potential a scalar quantity.
