Given below are two statements:
Assertion (A): An isolated system consists of two particles of equal masses \(m=10\) gm and charges \(q_1=1~\mu \)C and \(q_2=-1~\mu \)C as shown in the figure. The initial separation of both charges is \(l=1\) m. Both the charges are given initial velocities \(v_1=1\) ms-1 and \(v_2=2\) ms-1 towards the right. The maximum separation between the charges is infinite.
Reason (R): The total energy (Kinetic energy + electrostatic potential energy) of the given two-particle system is positive and the initial velocity of separation is positive.

In the circuit shown in the figure initially, key \(K_1\) is closed and key \(K_2\) is open. Then \(K_1\) is opened and \(K_2\) is closed (order is important).
(Take \(Q_1\) and \(Q_2\) as charges on \(C_1\) and \(C_2\) and \(V_1\) and \(V_2\) as voltage respectively.)
Then,
(a) | charge on \(C_1\) gets redistributed such that \(V_1 =V_2\) |
(b) | charge on \(C_1\) gets redistributed such that \(Q'_1= Q'_2\) |
(c) | charge on \(C_1\) gets redistributed such that \(C_1V_1+C_2V_2= C_1E\) |
(d) | charge on \(C_1\) gets redistributed such that \(Q'_1+Q'_2=Q\) |

3. (b), (d)
4. (a), (b), (c), (d)
If a conductor has a potential \(V\neq 0\) and there are no charges anywhere else outside, then:
(a) | there must be charges on the surface or inside itself |
(b) | there cannot be any charge in the body of the conductor |
(c) | there must be charges only on the surface |
(d) | there must be charges inside the surface |
Choose the correct option:
1. (a), (d)
2. (a), (b), (c)
3. (a), (b)
4. (a), (b), (c), (d)
A: | Key \(K\) is kept closed and plates of capacitors are moved apart using insulating handle. |
B: | Key \(K\) is opened and plates of capacitors are moved apart using the insulating handle. |
Choose the correct option(s).
1. | In A: \(Q\) remains same but \(C\) changes. |
2. | \(V\) remains same but \(C\) changes. | In B:
3. | In A: \(V\) remains same and hence \(Q\) changes. |
4. | In B: \(Q\) remains same and hence \(V\) changes. |
