NEET Physics Electric Potential Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 12
Assertion (A): Inside a conductor, the electrostatic field is zero. | Reason (R): Free electrons in a conductor move until the internal electric field cancels the external field.
A
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false.
