toppr ०६ Q Type your question In tigure. I nen the Key \( \mathbf{K} \) Is pressed to complete the circuit. Finally the net charge on upper plate and net charge the circuit. Finally the net charge on upper plate and net charge on lower plate of capacitor \( C \) is positive. Reason : In a parallel plate capacitor both plates always carry equal and opposite charge.
- A. If both Assertion arid Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
- B. If both Assertion and Reason are correct, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
- C. If Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
- D. If Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct.
Step-by-step solution
The assertion claims both plates of the capacitor have positive net charge, which violates the fundamental principle that capacitor plates have equal and opposite charges. The reason correctly states this principle. Therefore, the assertion is false, and the reason is true.
