Given below are two statements: One is labeled as Assertion (A) and the other is labeled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): When a conductor is placed in an external electrostatic field, the net electric field inside the conductor becomes zero after a small instant of time.
Reason (R): It is not possible to set up an electric field inside a conductor.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
- (A) is true but (R) is false
- (A) is false but (R) is true
- Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
- Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
Answer
(C) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
