Answer: option 1 : the electric potential will decrease with an increase in y
Explanation: The electric potential (V) is related to distance (in this case y) by the formulae below
V = kq/y
Where k = 1/4πε0
Where V = electric potential,
k = electric constant = 9×10^9,
y = distance of potential relative to a reference point, ε0 = permittivity of free space
q = magnitude of electronic charge = 1.609×10^-19 c
From the formulae, we can see that q and k are constants, only potential (V) and distance (y) are variables.
We have that
V = k/y
We see the potential(V) is inversely proportional to distance (y).
This implies that an increase in distance results to a decreasing potential and a decrease in distance results to an increase in potential.
This fact makes option 1 the correct answer
A big part of the reason that mirrors are seldom if ever used to generate
electricity is the simple fact that there is no way to generate electricity using
mirrors. They are as useless for the purpose as smoke is, although there are
those who have used both items simultaneously to create the impression that
they have succeeded in that attempt.

Motorcycle helmets are padded to give the rider the protection they require in case of accidents. Any hit to the head is absorbed by the padding and the rider is saved from any kind of fatal injury. Whenever a motorcycle rider falls from his motorcycle, there is every possibility that the head will hit the ground first. If the padding was not there, then the rider would get the direct impact of hitting. As most of the pressure of the hit gets absorbed by the inner padding of the helmet, so the rider is saved from the fatal accident. It does not mean that the driver will not have minor injuries but by all chance his life would be saved.
