Question

Statement I: Two positively charged conductors are put in contact, the common potential will be less than the initial value of one of the conductors.
Statement II: Two positively charged conductors attract each other.

• 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: (C)

We know that common potential will be between two initial values, so it will be less than the potential of one of the conductors. Since, both have positive charge, so they will repell each other.
