In electrostatics, the electric field inside a conductor is zero. According to Gauss's law, ∮E⋅ds=ϵ0qin. Since E=0 everywhere inside the conductor, the net charge enclosed qin must be zero. Thus, a conductor does not store any net charge inside its bulk, and any excess charge resides only on its surface. Assertion A is true.
Inside a capacitor with no dielectric medium, a uniform electric field exists between the plates. If free charge carriers are placed in this region, they will experience an electrostatic force F=qE and will drift towards the respective oppositely charged plates. Reason R is true.
Although both statements are factually correct, the behavior of charge carriers in the electric field of a capacitor does not explain why the net charge inside a conductor is zero in electrostatics. Therefore, both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
Answer: Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
