NEET Physics Electric Potential Assertion Reason Question
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.
