Statement-1: Electric field outside the uniformly charged spherical shell (due to shell) is the same as that of a point charge at its center.
Statement-2: The centre of mass of uniform shell is at its center.
Statement-2: The centre of mass of uniform shell is at its center.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true, Statement-2 is not the correct explanation for Statement-1
Option B is correct because the electric field outside a uniformly charged spherical shell is the same as that of a point charge at its center, and the center of mass of a uniform shell is at its center, but the latter doesn't explain the former.

Reason:-Electric charges exist only on the surface of conductor.
Reason:-Electric charges exist only on the surface of conductor.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
If both Assertion & Reason are True but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion
Option B is correct because both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason doesn't correctly explain the assertion. The electric field inside a metal is zero due to charge redistribution, not just the location of charges.
