AIIMS 2019 Physics Induction MCQ Question
Assertion : On bringing a positively charged rod near the uncharged conductor, the conductor gets attracted towards the rod.
Reason : The electric field lines of the charged particles rod are perpendicular to the surface of 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.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The phenomenon described is due to electrostatic induction, where a charged rod induces a separation of charges within the neutral conductor. The negatively charged regions of the conductor are attracted to the positively charged rod, resulting in an overall attraction despite the conductor's net charge remaining zero. Other options are not applicable in this context as they do not provide relevant information or explanations regarding the principles of electrostatics and charge distribution. Understanding this concept is crucial for grasping how charged objects interact with neutral conductors.
