NEET Physics Electric Potential Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The work done by the electrostatic force in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to a point P is positive when a negative charge is present at P. | Reason (R): The electrostatic force and displacement are in the same direction for a negative charge at P.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true, but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The given context explains that for Q < 0, the force on a unit positive test charge is attractive, making the work done by the electrostatic force positive as force and displacement are in the same direction.
