NEET Physics Question - Electrostatics

Assertion (A): We cannot produce electric field in a neutral conductor.

Reason (R): Neutral conductor cannot produce electric field.

Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)

Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)

(A) is true but (R) is false

Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

In electrostatic equilibrium, the electric field inside a conductor is zero due to charge redistribution. A neutral conductor has no net charge, so it cannot be a source of electric field. Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true, but (R) does not correctly explain (A); the zero field inside is due to charge mobility and redistribution, not simply its neutrality.
