NEET Physics Question - Work Energy and Power - Potential Energy & Equilibrium

Assertion (A): Total energy is negative for a bounded system.

Reason (R): Potential energy of a bound system is negative and its magnitude is more than kinetic energy.

Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)

Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)

(A) is true but (R) is false

Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

For a bound system, the potential energy (\(U\)) is negative and its magnitude is greater than the kinetic energy (\(K\)). Since total energy is \(E = K + U\), \(E\) must be negative. Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason correctly explains Assertion.
