Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 12

Assertion (A): The potential energy of a dipole in a uniform electric field is given by –p.E. | Reason (R): The potential energy of a dipole depends on its orientation with respect to the electric field.

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 false.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The potential energy of a dipole in a uniform electric field is –p.E, which depends on the orientation of the dipole with respect to the field, as given in the NCERT context.
