Question

Assertion (A): Electric current will not flow between two charged bodies when connected if their charges are the same.
Reason (R): Current is the rate of flow of charge.

Options

• If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

• If both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

• If the assertion is true but the reason is false.

• If the assertion is false but the reason is true.

Answer 1

If the assertion is false but the reason is true.

Reason: Current will not flow when two bodies are at the same potential. When their charges are the same, their potential may be different. Hence current may flow in this case.
