statement of Reason (R). Choose the

In the follorving questions, a statement of Assertion (A) is followed bry a
correct answer out of the following choices.
(a) Both A and Rare true and Ris the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true but Ris not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
() Ais false and R is also false.
direction of the electric field.
1. Assertion (4) : Anegative charge in an electric field moves along the
field.
Reason (R) : On a negative charge a force acts in the direction of the electric

transferred.
2. Assertion(4) :Charge is quantized because only integral number of electrons can be
Reason (R) : There is no possibility of transfer of some fraction of electron.
3. Assertion(4) : In a non-uniform electric field, a dipole will have translatory as well as rotatory
motion.
Reason (R) : In a non-uniform electric field, a dipole experiences a force as wellas torque.
(CBSE Sample Paper 2021|
4. Assertion (4) : Electrostatic field lines start at positive charges and end at negative charges.
Reason (R) : Field lines are continuous curves without any breaks and they form closed loop.
5. Assertion(4) : Electrons moves away from a region of lower potential to a region of higher
potential.
Reason (R) : An electron has a negative charge.
6. Assertion(4) : All the charge in a conductor gets distributed on whole of its outer surface.
Reason (R) : In a dynamic system, changes try to keep their potential energy minimum.
(AIIMS 2018]
7. Assertion(4) : When a body acquires negative charge, its mass decreases.
Reason (R) : Abody acquires positive charge when it gains electrons.
8. Assertioa(4) : Surface charge density of an irregularly shaped conductor in non-uniform.
Reason (R) : Surface density is defined as charge per unit area.
9. Assertion (4) : Total flux through a closed surlace is zero if no charge is enclosed by the surface.
Reason (R) : Gauss law is true for any closed surface, no matter what its shape or size is.
10. Assertion(4) : If a proton and an electron a replaced in the same uniform electric ield, they
experience different acceleration.
Reason (R) : Electric force on a testcharge is independent of its mass.
