  • Given below are two statements labelled as Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Assertion (A): An electron has a high potential energy when it is at a location associated with a more negative value of potential, and a low potential energy when at a location associated with a more positive potential. Reason (R): Electrons move from a region of higher potential to region of lower potential Select the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

    A
    Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
    B
    Both A and Rare true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
    C
    A is true but R is false.
    D
    A is false and R is also false.

  • Statement-I : If a positive is charge free to move then it moves from higher potential to lower potential. Statement -I : Force one positive charge is along vec(E) , which is H.P. to L.P.

    A
    If both Statement-I and Statement-II are true, and Statement-II is the correct explanation of Statement -I.
    B
    If both Statement-I and Statement-II are true but Statement-II is not the correct explanation of Statement -I.
    C
    If Statement -I is true but Statement-II is false
    D
    If Statement-I is false but Statement -II is true

  • Assertion: In the electric field E=(4eci+4hatj)N//C electric potential at A (4m, 0) is more than the electric portential at B(0,4m) Reason: Electric lines of forces always travel from higher potential to lower potential.

    A
    If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
    B
    If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
    C
    If Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.
    D
    If Assertion is false but the Reason is true.

Reason (R):Electrons move from a region of higher potential to region of lower potential. Select the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

    Will the potential energy of a negative charge increases or decreases when it is moved in the direction of electric field? Will its final position be at higher potential or lower potential?

    Assertion : Current between two points in an electrical always flows from higher potential to lower potential. Reason : During charging of a battery current inside the battery flows negative terminal to positive terminal.

    Statement (A): Negative charges always move from a higher potential to lower potential point statement (B): Electric potentail is vector.

    An electron enters in high potential region V_(2) from lower potential region V_(1) then its velocity
