NEET Physics Question - Electrostatics

Assertion (A): Excess charge on a conductor resides entirely on the outer surface.

Reason (R): Like charges repel each other.

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:

Assertion (A) is true. Excess charges on a conductor spread out on the outer surface due to mutual repulsion. Reason (R) is also true, as like charges repel. (R) correctly explains (A).
