NEET Physics Electric Potential MCQ Question
What happens to the work done when bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to a point in an electric field created by a negative charge?
Work done is positive because the electrostatic force is attractive.
Work done is negative because the field repels the charge.
Work done is zero as there is no movement.
Work done is independent of the charge configuration.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
When bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to a point near a negative charge, the electrostatic force is attractive, resulting in positive work done by the electrostatic force, as stated in the NCERT context.
