NEET Physics Electric Potential MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-fact-Easy-Class 12
What is the relationship between electric field E and the change in electric potential dV according to the electrostatic principles?
A
E = -dV/dl
B
E = dV/dl
C
E = dV * dl
D
E = -dV * dl
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The electric field E is related to the change in electric potential dV by the equation E = -dV/dl, indicating that the electric field is the negative gradient of the potential.
