NEET Physics Electric Potential MCQ Question
What happens to the electrostatic potential when a negative charge is brought from infinity to a point in its electric field?
The potential becomes negative.
The potential becomes positive.
The potential remains zero.
The potential becomes infinite.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
When bringing a negative charge to a point, the work done by the external force is negative, indicating that the electrostatic potential at that point also becomes negative as described in the context.
