NEET Physics Electric Potential MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about electric potential are correct?
The work done by the electric field is positive when moving a positive charge from a higher to a lower potential.
Moving a small positive charge from point Q to point P requires work from an external agency against the electric field.
The potential difference between two equipotential surfaces is zero regardless of the path taken.
When a negative charge moves from point B to point A in an electric field, the work done by the external agency is negative.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to the NCERT context, moving a small positive charge from Q to P requires work from an external agency against the electric field, making the work done by the field negative. In contrast, the work done in moving a negative charge from B to A is positive due to the force of repulsion.
