Question
In a certain charge distribution, all points having zero potential can be joined by a circle $S$. Points inside $S$ have positive potential and points outside $S$ have negative potential. A positive charge, which is free to move, is placed inside $S$

Answer

(c) A free positive charge move from higher (positive) potential to lower (negative) potential. Hence, it must cross $S$ at some time.

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.

Assertion $A:$ For measuring the potential difference across a resistance of $600\,\Omega$, the voltmeter with resistance $1000\,\Omega$ will be preferred over voltmeter with resistance $4000\,\Omega$.

Reason $R:$ Voltmeter with higher resistance will draw smaller current than voltmeter with lower resistance.
