Assertion : Electrons move away from a region of lower potential to a region of higher potential.
Reason : Since an electron has a negative charge.
Assertion : Charges are given to plates of two plane parallel plate capacitors and (such
that ) as shown in figure. Then the key is pressed to complete the circuit.
Finally the net charge on upper plate and net charge on lower plate of capacitor is positive.
Reason : In a parallel plate capacitor both plates always carry equal and opposite charge.
Assertion : Each of the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor is given equal positive charge Q. The
charges on the facing surfaces will be same.
Reason : A negative charge (–Q) will be induced on each of the facing surfaces.
Assertion : Electric potential is a property of an electric field, regardless of whether a charged
object has been placed in that field.
Reason : Potential depends on test charge.
Assertion : Electric potential and electric potential energy are different quantities.
Reason : For a system of positive test charge and point charge electric potential energy = electric potential.
Assertion : The component of in any direction is the negative of the rate of change of the
electric potential with distance in that direction.
Reason : Potential gradient in any direction at a point gives total electric field at that point.
Assertion : Two equipotential surfaces cannot cut each other.
Reason : Two equipotential surfaces are parallel to each other.
Assertion : At a distance r from a +ve charged particle potential is V and electric field strength is E.
Then graph between & is straight line.
Reason : For a point charge
Assertion : Potential difference between two points lying in a uniform electric field may be equal
to zero.
Reason : Points of line normal to electric field is equipotential line.
Assertion : A particle of mass m and charge moves directly towards a fixed particle , which
has charge . The speed of is when it is far away from . The minimum separation
between the particles is proportional to .
Reason : Total energy remains conserved.
