NEET Physics Electric Potential Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The electrostatic field inside a conductor in a static situation is zero. | Reason (R): In a conductor, free charge carriers stop moving only when the internal electric field is zero.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In a static situation, the electrostatic field inside a conductor is zero because free charge carriers distribute themselves such that the internal field cancels any external field, stopping further movement.
