Consider the shown system of two concentric thin metal shells. The inner shell has charge $Q$,while the outer shell is neutral. The potential difference between the shells is $V$. If the shells are joined by a metal wire,then the potential of the inner shell is

Assertion: $A$ positive charge particle is placed in front of a spherical uncharged conductor. The number of lines of force terminating on the sphere will be more than those emerging from it.
Reason: The surface charge density at a point on the sphere nearest to the point charge will be negative and maximum in magnitude compared to other points on the sphere.
