Q2PhysicsUnit 11: Electrostatics
A material that does not allow
electricity to flow through it is called
Q3PhysicsUnit 11: Electrostatics
Assertion
When two charged metal spheres are connected by a long wire, then, the
surface charge density on each sphere is inversely proportional to the radius.
Reason
When two charged metal spheres are
connected, charge will flow from one to the other until their potentials are
equal.

Two identical conductors of copper and
aluminium are placed in an identical electric field. The magnitude of induced charge in the aluminium will be :
Q5PhysicsUnit 11: Electrostatics
Assertion
During storms, communication may be disrupted, and electrical discharges may be seen between sharp points on signalling equipment that is
inadequately earthed.
Reason
Atmospheric electricity often has an effect on electrical communications.
