JEE PHYSICS MCQ: ELECTRIC FIELDS AND CHARGES

1 Medium
1 of 1
Analyzing +4 | -1
Statement-1: There is an isolated system of two charged conducting spheres AA and BB. The resultant electric field at point PP is the sum of electric field at PP due to charged sphere AA only (that is, assuming sphere BB and all its effects to be absent) and the electric field at PP only due to sphere BB (that is, assuming sphere AA and all its effects to be absent).
Statement-2: Superposition theorem for electric field due to point charges states that resultant electric field at a point due to point charges is the sum of electric field at that point due to individual charges.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true
Option D is correct. Superposition requires the original charge distribution to remain unchanged, which isn't the case when conductors are present.
