Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): The electrostatic field of a charge distributed uniformly over the surface of a sphere vanishes within the sphere, only at its centre.
Reason (R): This cancellation occurs at the centre due to the symmetry of the sphere and the symmetric, uniform charge distribution.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. (A) is False but (R) is True.

A thin uniform rod of mass \(M\) and length \(L\) is suspended from one of its ends, '\(A\)', so that it can rotate freely about it. A charge '\(q\)' is fixed to its lower end \(B\). A uniform horizontal Electric field is switched on and the rod rotates about \(A\), finally coming to equilibrium – making an angle of \(45^{\circ}\) with the vertical. If the acceleration due to gravity is '\(g\)', then,

1. \(qE =Mg\)
2. \(2qE =Mg\)
3. \(qE =2Mg\)
4. \(\sqrt{2}qE =Mg\)

1. remains constant in magnitude and direction.
2. increases in magnitude, but retains its direction.
3. decreases in magnitude, but retains its direction.
4. changes in magnitude and direction.
