AIIMS 2018 Physics Conductors and Insulators MCQ Question
Assertion: Net electric field insider conductor is zero
Reason: Total positive charge equals to total negative charge in a conductor
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false. 43. Assertion: All the charge in a conductor ge
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In electrostatics, free charges in a conductor redistribute themselves to minimize the electric field within the material, leading to an electric field (E) of zero in electrostatic equilibrium. However, this behavior can vary depending on the type of conductor (e.g., ideal conductors vs. superconductors) and the presence of external electric fields or charges. Option A is incorrect because it oversimplifies the situation; option B is false as it overlooks specific conditions; and option D is misleading since the presence of charge does not change the fundamental property of conductors in electrostatic equilibrium.
