Elastic potential energy is due to stretching or bending.

A current i_1 = i_0 sin omegat passes through a resistor of resistance R . How much thermal energy is produced in one time period? A current i_2 = -i_0 sin omegat passes through the resistor. How much thermal energy is produced in one time period? If i_1 and i_2 both pass through the resistor simultaneously, how much thermal energy is produced? Is the principle of superposition obeyed in this case?

Assertion (A) Three states of matter are the result of balance between intermolecular forces and thermal energy of the molecules. Reason (R) Intermolecular forces tend to keep the molecules together but thermal energy of molecules tends to keep tham apart.
