B. The eiectric fields in both I and Il can be created by negative charges located somewhere on
the left and positive ciharges somewhere on the right.
C. The electric field in I is the same everywhere but the electric field in Il
becomes stronger as we move from left to right.
D. As you move from left to right, the electric fields in both | and | become stronger.

In a given region of an electric field, there is no charge present. Aclosed container

 13 Assertion : The clectrostatic potental ener:y of the system increases if a proton is brouglit near to another
proton
Reason: Potential energy increases when work is dorne against electrostatic forre.
14 Assertion :There is no current in netals in the absence of electric field
Reason: Motion of free electrons in a conductor is random.

15 Assertion: When a coil is suspended in a radial magnetic field, it experiences maximum torque.
Reason: The torque tends to rotate the coil on its own axis
16 Assertion: In series LCR circuit, the resonane occurs at one frequency only.
Reason: At resonance, inductive reactance is equal and opposite to the capacitive reactance.
