Assertion :- A point charge \( \mathrm{q} \) is placed near an arbitary shaped solid conductor as shown in figure. The potential difference between the points A and \( \mathrm{B} \) within the conductor remain same irrespective of the magnitude of charge \( \mathrm{q} \).
\( \bullet q \)
Reason :- The electric field inside a solid conductor is zero under electrostatic conditions.
(1) A
(2) B
(3) \( \mathrm{C} \)
