Which of the following statements are correct related to electric potential energy?
(A) The electric potential energy is a vector quantity.
(B) The potential energy of two like charges is positive and for two unlike charges, it is negative.
(C) The work done by an electrostatic field in moving a charge from one point to another is independent of the path taken.
(D) The potential energy of an electric dipole in a uniform electric field is maximum, when the dipole moment is opposite to the electric field.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A (A), (B) and (D) only
- B (A), (B) and (C) only
- C (A), (B) and (C) and (D)
- D (B), (C) and (D) only
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) (B), (C) and (D) only
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(B), (C) and (D) are correct. (B) The potential energy of two like charges is positive and for two unlike charges, it is negative. This is correct. For two like charges (both positive or both negative), the electric potential energy is positive because the force between them is…
