NEET Physics Electric Potential MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about electric potential is correct?
Electric potential is defined as the work done in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to a point in an electric field.
Electric potential is independent of the position of the charge in the electric field.
The electric potential at a point is always zero when the electric field is zero.
The electric potential can be negative depending on the configuration of charges in the field.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Electric potential (V) at any point in a region with electrostatic field is defined as the work done in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to that point, as mentioned in the NCERT context.
