NEET Physics Electric Potential MCQ Question
Consider a scenario where a unit positive charge is moved from infinity to a point near a point charge Q. Which of the following correctly describes the work done during this process?
The work done is equal to the electrostatic potential at that point.
The work done is zero because the charge is moved without acceleration.
The work done is independent of the path taken by the charge.
The work done is negative since the charge moves towards a positive Q.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to the NCERT context, the electrostatic potential at a point is the work done in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to that point.
