Assertion: Inside a solid charged sphere variation is linear.
Reason: Inside that solid charged sphere variation is parabolic.


Important Questions on Electrostatics
Assertion: Two charges each are fixed at two points. If a third charge is placed at centre, then this charge is in stable equilibrium condition line joining the charges.
Reason: Electrostatic potential energy of the system in this position is minimum.

Assertion: Two concentric spherical shells and are charged by charges and . If is negative, then is also negative.
Reason: . Therefore, if is negative, then is also negative.

Assertion: Two identical balls are charged by . They are suspended from a common point by two insulating threads each. In equilibrium, the angle between the threads is . (Ignore gravity)
Reason: In equilibrium tension in the springs is

Assertion: With the help of Gauss theorem, we can find electric field at any point.
Reason: Gauss theorem can be applied for any type of charge distribution.

Assertion: When a capacitor is charged by a battery half of the energy supplied by the battery is stored in the capacitor and the rest half is lost.
Reason: If resistance in the circuit is zero, then there will be no loss of energy.

Assertion: A point charge produces a uniform electric field.
Reason: Due to a point charge electric lines of forces are parallel and equidistant.

Assertion: When a metallic plate is partially inserted between the plates of a capacitor its capacity increases.
Reason: If conductivity of conducting plate is more, increase in capacity will be more.

Assertion: No work is done in moving an electric dipole transnationally in uniform electric field.
Reason: Net force on electric dipole in uniform electric field is zero.
