NEET Physics Electric Potential Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| (a) Electrostatic potential | (V) (i) Work done per unit test charge |
| (b) Potential energy (U) | (ii) Positive for like charges |
| (c) Work done (W) | (iii) Path-independence in conservative forces |
| (d) Charge brought from infinity | (iv) Work done on a charge without acceleration |
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-iv, b-ii, c-i, d-iii
a-ii, b-iii, c-i, d-iv
a-iii, b-iv, c-ii, d-i
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Electrostatic potential (V) is defined as the work done per unit test charge in bringing a charge from infinity to a point. Potential energy (U) is positive for like charges due to repulsive forces. The work done (W) is independent of the path taken, consistent with conservative forces. Finally, bringing a charge from infinity involves work done without acceleration.
