To determine whether the statement "Conventionally, positively-charged bodies are considered to be at lower potential" is true or false, we can analyze the concepts of electric potential and charge. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Electric Potential**: Electric potential (or voltage) is a measure of the potential energy per unit charge at a point in an electric field. It indicates how much work would be done to move a positive charge from a reference point (usually taken as infinity) to that point. 2. **Charge Types**: In electrostatics, we have two types of charges: positive and negative. A positively charged body has an excess of positive charge, while a negatively charged body has an excess of negative charge. ...

A positive charged particle when moves from potential to lower potential

Can a body have charge and still be at zero potential

Assertion: A small electric dipole is moved translatonally from higher potential to lower potential in uniform electric field. Work done by electric is positive. Reason: When a positive charge is moved from higher potential to lower potential, work done by electric field positive.

Match the following . When an independent positive charge moves from higher potential to lower potential, then {:(,"Table - 1",,"Table - 2",),((A),"its kinetic energy",(P),"will remain constant",),((B),"its potential energy",(Q),"will decrease",),((C),"its mechanical energy",(R),"will increase",):}

A body charged positively is considered to be at a "______" potential and a body that is charged negatively is considered to be at a "______" potential.

Assertion: Conductors having equal positive charge and volume, must also have same potential. Reason: Potential depends only on charge and volume of conductor.

A network of four 10 mu F capacitors is connected to a 500 V supply, as shown in Fig. Determine (a) the equivalent capacitance of the network and (b) the charge on each capacitor. (Note, the charge on a capacitor is the charge on the plate with higher potential, equal and opposite to the charge on the plate with lower potential.)
