Question

Assertion : The potential difference between the two conductors of a capacitor is small
Reason : A capacitor is so configured that it confines the electric field lines within a small region of space

• A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
• B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
• C. If assertion is true but reason is false
• D. If both assertion and reason are false

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Even, though field may have considerable strength, the potential difference between the two conductors of a capacitor is small because the field lines are confined within a small region of space
