Q: STATEMENT-1
For practical purposes, the earth is used as a reference at zero potential in electrical circuits.
STATEMENT-2
The electrical potential of a sphere of radius R with charge Q uniformly distributed on the surface is given by $\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R}$
(A) STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is True; STATEMENT-2 is a correct explanation for STATEMENT-1
(B) STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is True’ STATEMENT-2 is NOT a correct explanation for STATEMENT-1
(C) STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is False
(D) STATEMENT-1 is False, STATEMENT-2 is True
Solution : for practical purposes earthing part of electrical circuit have zero potential
Correct Option is (B)
