NEET Physics Electric Potential MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about electric potential is correct?
The electric potential at a point is the work done in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to that point without acceleration.
Electric potential is always zero at points infinitely far from any charges.
The potential due to a point charge is independent of the distance from the charge.
Electric potential can be negative if the work done against an electric field is positive.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The definition of electric potential states that it is the work done in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to a point in an electric field without acceleration, as mentioned in the NCERT context.
