Electric Potential

As a proton moves in the direction the electric field lines...

• it is moving from low potential to high potential and gaining electric potential energy.
• it is moving from low potential to high potential and losing electric potential energy.
• it is moving from high potential to low potential and gaining electric potential energy.
• it is moving from high potential to low potential and losing electric potential energy.

The direction of electric field lines shows the

• direction of the force on a test positive charge.

• size of the field.

• strength of the field.

• all of the above

Two charged spheres of radii 10 cm and 15 cm are connected by a thin wire. No current will flow, if they have

• The same charge on each

• The same energy

• The same potential

• The same field on their surfaces

Inside a hollow charged spherical conductor, the potential

• Varies directly as the distance from the centre

• Varies inversely as the distance from the centre

• Varies inversely as the square of the distance from the centre

• Is constant

A hollow metal sphere of radius 5 cm is charged so that the potential on its surface is 10 V. The potential at the centre of the sphere is

• 0 V

• 10 V

• Same as at point 5 cm away from the surface

• Same as at point 25 cm away from the surface

If a unit positive charge is taken from one point to another over an equipotential surface, then

• Work is done on the charge

• Work is done by the charge

• Work done is constant

• No work is done
