Statement-1: A conducting sphere cannot be charged beyond a definite (maximum) potential. Statement-2: The dielectric strength of the medium surrounding the conductor does not allow an infinite electric field (and hence infinite charge). Choose the correct option.
- Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.
- Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1.
- Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False.
- Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True.
Correct answer: Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.
Solution
Statement-1 is true: corona discharge limits charging. Statement-2 is true: dielectric strength is the physical reason. Statement-2 correctly explains Statement-1.
