9 1
Assertion (A): An electric dipole is in stable equilibrium when
placed in a uniform electric field with its dipole moment is parallel
to the field.

Page 2 of 8
 Reason (R): Net force and net torque on an electric dipole is zero
and its potential energy is minimum when its dipole moment is
parallel to the direction of uniform electric field..
10 Assertion (A): The potential at a point is characteristic of the 1
electric field at a point only whereas electric potential energy at a
point is characteristic of the charge– field system
Reason (R): The potential is independent of a charged test charge
placed in the field and the electric potential energy is due to an
interaction between the electric field at the point and the charged
particle placed in the field at that point.
11 Assertion (A): If the charges are placed on an isolated conductor, 1
it results in a zero electric field inside the conductor. On the other
hand, a conductor connected to a source of emf, results in a
steady current due to a constant electric field inside the
conductor.
Reason (R): A conductor is always in an electrostatic equilibrium
whether or not it is connected to a source of emf.
12 Assertion (A): The work done by the magnetic field on a proton 1
moving in a circular path in a uniform magnetic field is zero.
Reason (R): The force on a charged particle moving in a uniform
magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of motion.

21 Magnetism is the class of physical attributes that occur through
a magnetic field, which allows objects to attract or repel each other.
Because both electric currents and magnetic moments of elementary
particles give rise to a magnetic field, magnetism is one of two
aspects of electromagnetism. The most familiar effects occur
in ferromagnetic materials, which are strongly attracted by magnetic
fields and can be magnetized to become permanent magnets,
producing magnetic fields themselves. Demagnetizing a magnet is
also possible.

22 An autotransformer is a special transformer that has a single

winding with an iron core. In an autotransformer, portions of the
same winding act as both the primary and secondary. It has two
end terminals and one or more terminals at intermediate tap points.
The input voltage is applied across two of the terminals. The output
voltage is taken across two terminals, one terminal of which is
usually in common with the input voltage terminal. They are
generally used in home applications with small voltage conversions.
