Electric PotentialEasyQuestion 31441
Question
Electric potential V at a point is defined as:
- AWork done to move charge from infinity to that point per unit chargeCorrect
- BForce on unit charge
- CCharge × distance
- DElectric field × distance
Correct answer
Work done to move charge from infinity to that point per unit charge
Explanation
V = W/q₀ = work done by external agent per unit charge to bring a positive test charge from infinity to that point, with no kinetic energy gained.
