Assertion (A): The surface densities of two spherical conductors of different radii are equal. Then the electric field intensities near their surface are also equal.
Reason (R): Surface density is equal to charge per unit area.

Answer

  1. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

Explanation:

As, $\sigma_1=\sigma_2$ (Given)

$\therefore\frac{\text{q}_1}{4\pi\text{r}_1^2}=\frac{\text{q}_2}{4\pi\text{r}_2^2},$

Or $\frac{\text{q}_1}{\text{q}_2}=\frac{\text{r}_1^2}{\text{r}^2_2}$

[Let r1 and r2 be two different radii) Then the ratio of electric field intensities near the surface of spherical conductors,

$\frac{\text{E}_1}{\text{E}_2}=\frac{\text{q}_1}{4\pi\in_0\text{r}^2_1}\times\frac{4\pi\in_0\text{r}^2_2}{\text{q}_2}$

$=\frac{\text{q}_1}{\text{q}_2}\times\frac{\text{r}^2_2}{\text{r}^2_1}=\frac{\text{q}_1}{\text{q}_2}\times\frac{\text{q}_2}{\text{q}_1}=1$

i.e. E1 = E2.
