To analyze the given statements, we will evaluate each statement individually and then determine their relationship. ### Step 1: Evaluate Statement 1 **Statement 1:** For practical purposes, the earth is used as a reference at zero potential in electrical circuits. **Explanation:** - In electrical circuits, it is common practice to use the Earth as a reference point for potential. This is because the Earth can be considered a large conductor that can absorb or supply an infinite amount of charge without significantly changing its potential. - Therefore, when we say that the Earth is at zero potential, we mean that it serves as a common reference point for measuring electrical potential in circuits. ...
