In the circuit shown in the figure initially, key \(K_1\) is closed and key \(K_2\) is open. Then \(K_1\) is opened and \(K_2\) is closed (order is important).
(Take \(Q_1\) and \(Q_2\) as charges on \(C_1\) and \(C_2\) and \(V_1\) and \(V_2\) as voltage respectively.)

                                     

Then,
(a) charge on \(C_1\) gets redistributed such that \(V_1 =V_2\)
(b) charge on \(C_1\) gets redistributed such that \(Q'_1= Q'_2\)
(c) charge on \(C_1\) gets redistributed such that \(C_1V_1+C_2V_2= C_1E\)
(d) charge on \(C_1\) gets redistributed such that \(Q'_1+Q'_2=Q\)

Choose the correct option:
1. (a), (d)
2. (a), (b), (c)
3. (b), (d)
4. (a), (b), (c), (d)

A parallel plate capacitor is connected to a battery as shown in the figure. Consider two situations.

                                          

A: Key \(K\) is kept closed and plates of capacitors are moved apart using insulating handle.
B: Key \(K\) is opened and plates of capacitors are moved apart using the insulating handle.

Choose the correct option(s).

1. In A: \(Q\) remains same but \(C\) changes.
2. In B: \(V\) remains same but \(C\) changes.
3. In A: \(V\) remains same and hence \(Q\) changes.
4. In B: \(Q\) remains same and hence \(V\) changes.

Given below are two statements: 


Assertion (A): An isolated system consists of two particles of equal masses \(m=10\) gm and charges \(q_1=1~\mu \)C and  \(q_2=-1~\mu \)C as shown in the figure. The initial separation of both charges is \(l=1\) m. Both the charges are given initial velocities  \(v_1=1\) ms-1 and  \(v_2=2\) ms-1 towards the right. The maximum separation between the charges is infinite.
Reason (R): The total energy (Kinetic energy + electrostatic potential energy) of the given two-particle system is positive and the initial velocity of separation is positive.

1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
4. Both (A) and (R) are false.
