The proof of this statement is simple. There is no potential difference between any two points on the surface and no work is required to move a test charge on the surface because work done = potential difference × charge.

Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct.

The proof of this statement is simple. There is no potential difference between any two points on the surface and no work is required to move a test charge on the surface because work done $=$ potential difference $\times$ charge.
