MCQ
Statement(A): Negative charges always move from a higher potential to lower potential point
Statement (B): Electric potential is vector.
  • A
    A is true but B is false.
  • B
    B is true but A is false.
  • C
    Both A and B false.
  • D
    Both A and R are true.

Answer

  1. Both A and B false.

Explanation:

Positive charges move from higher to lower potential whereas negative charges move from lower to higher potential. Hence, A is false. Electric potential does not have direction and is a scalar quantity.
