Questions Asked in NEET exam
- Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A : The potential (V) at any axial point, at 2 m distance(r) from the centre of the dipole of dipole moment vector \(\vec{P}\) of magnitude, 4 × 10-6 C m, is ± 9 × 103 V.
(Take \(\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}=9\times10^9\) SI units)
Reason R : \(V=±\frac{2P}{4\pi \epsilon_0r^2}\), where r is the distance of any axial point, situated at 2 m from the centre of the dipole.

Nutrient Cycling
“A nutrient cycle is defined as the cyclic pathway by which nutrients pass-through, in order to be recycled and reutilised. The pathway comprises cells, organisms, community and ecosystem.”
How nutrient cycling differs from energy flow?
The energy flow refers to the transfer of energy from one trophic level to another in the food chain and food web. It is unidirectional and energy is lost from one trophic level to another in the form of heat. Sunlight is the ultimate energy source.
Nutrient cycling is a cyclic process that encompasses the movement of nutrients from the physical environment to living organisms and back to the environment. Nutrients are present on the earth where they are recycled, transformed into different forms and reutilized.
