12th Class Physics Electrostatics & Capacitance Question Bank Assertion And Reason (MCQs) - Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

  • question_answer
    Assertion (A): Electric potential and electric potential energy are two different quantities.
    Reason (R): For a test charge Q and a point charge Q, the electric potential energy becomes equal to the potential.

    A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

    B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

    C) A is true but R is false

    D) A is fake and R is True

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Option [c] is correct.
    Explanation: Electric potential and electric potential energy are two different quantities. Hence the assertion is true.
    Electric potential is defined as the potential energy per unit charge. Hence V = P.E./q So, the reason is false.
