NEET Physics Electric Potential MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about electric potential is correct?
Electric potential at a point is the work done in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to that point.
Electric potential can vary within a charged conductor.
The electric potential inside a conductor is higher than outside its surface.
Electric potential is always zero at points infinitely far from any charge.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Electric potential at any point is defined as the work done in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to that point, as stated in the NCERT context. The potential inside a conductor is constant and equal to the potential at its surface, not varying, and potential at infinity is generally taken as zero only relative to other points.
