NEET Physics Electric Potential Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The work done in bringing a test charge to a point in an electric field is zero if the electrostatic potential at the point is zero. | Reason (R): The electrostatic potential at a point is the work done per unit charge in bringing a test charge from infinity to that point.
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 but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The NCERT context states that no work is required to bring a charge to a point if the electrostatic potential is zero, validating both the assertion and reason.
