NEET Physics Electric Potential Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): A cavity inside a conductor is shielded from outside electrical influences. | Reason (R): The electric potential inside a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium is constant.
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
The statement about the cavity being shielded is true and is explained by the fact that the electric potential inside a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium does not vary, effectively shielding the cavity from external fields.
