Question

Assertion (A): Circuits containing high capacity capacitors, charged to high voltage should I be handled with caution, even when the current in the circuit is switched off. Reason (R): When an isolated capacitor is touched by hand or any other part of the human body, there is an easy path to the ground available for the discharge of the capacitor. a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. b) Both A and Rare true but Ris not the correct explanation of A. c) A is true but Ris false. d) A is false but Ris true.

Answer:

A charged capacitor, after removing the battery, does not discharge itself. If this capacitor is touched by someone, he may feel shock due to large charge still present on the capacitor. Hence it should be handled cautiously otherwise this may cause a severe shock.
