Statement-I: The graph of potential energy and kinetic energy of a particle in SHM with respect to position is a parabola.
Statement-II: Potential energy and kinetic energy do not vary linearly with position.
Statement-II: Potential energy and kinetic energy do not vary linearly with position.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
If both Statement - I and Statement - II are true but Statement - II is not the correct explanation of Statement - I.
The correct answer is C because S-I is correct (a straight conductor has practically zero inductance), but S-II is incorrect (an emf is induced only with changing magnetic flux).
