Assertion: The surface of a conductor is an equipotential surface.
Reason: Conductor allows the flow of charge.


Important Questions on Electrostatics
Assertion : A charged particle free to move in an electric field always move along an electric line of force.
Reason : The electric line of force diverge from a positive charge and converge at a negative charge.

Assertion : An applied electric field will polarize the polar dielectric material.
Reason : In polar dielectrics, each molecule has a permanent dipole moment but these are randomly oriented in the absence of an externally applied electric field.

Assertion: Gravitational force between nucleus and electron in an atom is negligible to the electrical force.
Reason: The electrical force is experienced by charged particles only.
