Statement-I: The potential at any point due to a group of '' point charges is simply arrived at by the principle of superposition.
Statement-II: The potential energy of a system of two charges is a scalar quantity.
Statement-II: The potential energy of a system of two charges is a scalar quantity.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Statement-I is True, statement-II is True
Option A (Statement-I is True, statement-II is True) is correct because electric potential due to multiple charges is the scalar sum of individual potentials, and potential energy is a scalar quantity.

A parallel plate capacitor of capacity is charged to a potential (i) The energy stored in the capacitor when the battery is disconnected and the separation is doubled (ii) The energy stored in the capacitor when the charging battery is kept connected and the separation between the capacitor plates is doubled is Then value is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
4
Option A (4) is correct because when the battery is disconnected, the energy stored doubles, and when the battery is connected, the energy stored halves, resulting in a ratio of 4.

In a certain charge distribution, all points having zero potential can be joined by a circle . Points inside have positive potential, and points outside have negative potential. A positive charge, which is free to move, is placed inside :
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
It must cross at some time
Option C is correct. A positive charge will move from a region of higher potential to lower potential, thus crossing the circle S where potential is zero.
