Directions: In the following questions, A statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Mark the correct choice as.

Assertion (A): The basic difference between magnetic lines of force and electric lines of force is electric lines of force are discontinuous and magnetic lines of force are continuous.

Reason (R): Magnetic lines of force exist in a magnet but no electric lines of force exists in a charged body.

Directions: In the following questions, A statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Mark the correct choice as.

Assertion (A): When bodies are charged through friction, there is transfer of charge from one body to another. No charge is created or destroyed.

Reason (R): This is according to the law of conservation of electric charge.

Directions: In the following questions, A statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Mark the correct choice as.

Assertion (A): In a cavity in a conductor, the electric field is zero.

Reason (R): Charges in a conductor reside only at its surface.

Directions: In the following questions, A statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Mark the correct choice as.

Assertion (A): Using Gauss law, it is possible to find the electric field at any point.

Reason (R): Gauss law is applicable for any type of charge distribution.

Assertion : A metallic shield in the form of a hollow shell may be built to block an electric field.

Reason : In a hollow spherical shield, the electric field inside it is zero at every point.

Assertion : The Coulomb force is the dominating force in the universe.

Reason : The Coulomb force is weaker than the gravitational force.

Directions: These questions consist of two statements, each printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering these questions, you are required to choose any one of the following four responses.

Assertion : When bodies are charged through friction, there is a transfer of electric charge from one body to another, but no creation or destruction of charge.

Reason : This follows from conservation of electric charges.

Assertion : The property that the force with which two charges attract or repel each other are not affected by the presence of a third charge.

Reason : Force on any charge due to a number of other charges is the vector sum of all the forces on that charge due to other charges, taken one at a time.

Directions: These questions consist of two statements, each printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering these questions, you are required to choose any one of the following four responses.

Assertion : A point charge is brought in an electric field, the field at a nearby point will increase or decrease, depending on the nature of charge.

Reason : The electric field is independent of the nature of charge.
