NCERT Class 12 Physics Chapter 2 Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance Test Mock Test
This free online test covers Chapter 2, Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance, from the NCERT Class 12 Physics Part I textbook. The 30 questions are written directly from the chapter — definitions, processes, worked examples and the points the book italicises — so a score here tells you how much of the chapter actually stuck, not how well you guess. Each answer carries an explanation that says why the right option is right and why the other three fail, which is where most of the learning happens. Attempt it after your first read of the chapter, then again before the exam. There is no negative marking, and you can review the full solution the moment you submit.

Sample Questions
Q1.The chapter argues that the Coulomb force between two stationary charges is a conservative force, chiefly because:
- AIt acts only over very short distances, where dissipation is negligible
- BLike gravitation it has an inverse-square dependence on distance, differing mainly in the proportionality constants
- CIt is independent of the magnitude of either charge
- DIt is always attractive, so no work can be lost in a closed path
Q2.The electrostatic potential energy difference between two points is defined in the chapter as the work required:
- ATo be done by an external force in moving the charge from one point to the other without accelerating it
- BTo move the charge along one particular path chosen in advance
- CTo be done by the electrostatic field itself in moving the charge between the points
- DTo create the charge at the second point out of nothing
Q3.Why is the actual value of electrostatic potential energy at a point regarded as physically insignificant?
- ABecause an arbitrary constant may be added at every point without changing any potential energy difference
- BBecause potential energy is defined only for charges of one sign
- CBecause the energy at a point changes with time even for static charges
- DBecause potential energy is a vector and only its components can be measured
