Work Energy And Power Question 25
Question: Assertion : If two protons are brought near one another, the potential energy of the system will increase. Reason : The charge on the proton is $ +1.6\times {10^{-19}}C $ .
Options:
A) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
C) If assertion is true but reason is false.
