Assertion : In a cavity within a conductor, the electric field is zero. Reason : Charges in a conductor reside only at its surface.

Answer»

If both assertion and reason are TRUE and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
If assertion is true but reasonb is FALSE
If both assertion and reason are false.

Solution :Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
Both the assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation. It is because the charges are only at the surface of a CONDUCTOR, the charge enclosed in the Gaussian surface in the CAVITY is zero. The field is THEREFORE zero.
