Question

Statement I: Conductors having equal positive charge and volume, must also have same potential.
Statement II: Potential depends only on charge and volume of conductor.

• A. If both statements are true and statement II is the correct explanation of statement I.
• B. If both statements are true but statement II is not the correct explanation of statement I.
• C. If statement I is true but statement II is false.
• D. If both statements are false.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Electric potential of a charged conductor depends not only on the amount of charge and volume but also on the shape of the conductor. Hence, if their shapes are different, they may have different electric potential.
