For the following questions, two statements are given-one
labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R).
Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), (c) and () as given below. (a) BothAand 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) Ais true but R is false. (d) A is false and R is also false. 1. Assertion: An electric force acting on a proton and an electron, moving in a uniform electric field is the same, whereas acceleration of electron is 1836 times that of a proton. Reason: The mass of electron is less than the mass of proton. 2. Assertion: The force between two given charges placed at a given distance apart in water is only 1/81 of the force between them in air/vaccum. Reason: Electric force increases when a dielectric is inserted between the two charges. 3. Assertion: A body can be charged by induction. conduction and Reason: In charging by induction, body of charge. acquires same 4. Assertion:When two charges g, and g, are kept at some distance apart, force acting between these charges is F. If a third charges q, is placed quite will remains F. close to q,, the force Reason: The force acting between two charges does not depend upon the presence of any other charge. 5. Assertion: The total number of electric lines of force passing through a given area in anormal direction is called electric flux. Reason: Electric flux is a vector quantity. 6. Assertion: Electricfield lines can have break in betweel. Reason: Single isolated charge can exist. 7. Assertion: In the given figure g, is positive and 4, s negative. Reason:'Electric field lines emerge from positive arid terminate at negative charge. 8. Assertion: An electric dipole is placed in an electric field antiparallel toit. If it is displaced then it will come back to initial position. Reason: Dipole is in stable equilibrium. 9. Assertion: The net flux through a closed surface is zero due to charge which is lying outside it. Reason: Gauss's law gives total flux passing through closed surface for net charge inside the closed a surface. 10. Assertion: Acharge a' is placed the centre of a square of side on a height h/s above a'. The flux will not be affected when the side is increased to a + b. Electric Charges and Fields 43 Reason: Gauss' Law depends on shape not on size of Gaussian surface. 11. Assertion: A metallic shield in the form of a hollow shell, can be built to block an electric field. Reason: In a hollow spherical shell, the electric field is not zero at every point inside the shell. 12. Assertion: Gauss law is same in both electrostatic and magnetism. Reason: Isolated magnetic poles does not exist but isolated electric charges do. 13. Assertion: Electric field is zero inside a conductor. Reason: Charges reside on the surface of the conductor and not inside the conductor. 14. Assertion: Electric field lines form closed loops. Reason: Direction of electric field is not from positive to negative charge.
