Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: In physics, the principle of entropy refers to the equalization of energy differences. Entropy is a tendency toward balance or equilibrium within the personality; the ideal is an equal distribution of psychic energy over all structures of the personality. Jung applied this law to psychic energy by proposing that there is a tendency toward maintaining a balance or equilibrium in the personality.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: For his principle of equivalence, Jung applied the physical principle of the conservation of energy to psychic events. He stated that energy expended in bringing about some condition is not lost but rather is shifted to another part of the personality. The principle of equivalence dictates that energy is continually redistributed within the personality.
