NEET Physics Electric Potential MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about electric potential is correct?
Electric potential increases when a positive charge is moved against the electric field.
The work done by an external agency is negative when moving a positive charge in the direction of the electric field.
Electric potential is independent of the charge being moved in the electric field.
Work done in moving a negative charge against the electric field is negative.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to the NCERT context, when moving a positive charge against the electric field, work is done by an external agency, which indicates an increase in electric potential. This supports the correctness of option A.
