A hemisphere is positively charged uniformly. The electric field at a point on a diameter away from the centre is directed

• perpendicular to the diameter

• parallel to the diameter

• at an angle tilted towards the diameter

• at an angle tilted away from the diameter

Assertion:  Sky wave signals are used for long distance radio communication. These signals are in general, less stable than ground wave signals. 

Reason:  The state of ionosphere varies from hour to hour, day to day and season to season.

• If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

• If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

• If assertion is true but reason is false.

• If both assertion and reason are false.

Assertion:  Short wave communication over long distance is not possible via ground waves. 

Reason:  The ground waves can bend round the corners ofthe objects on earth.
