NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 12
Which of the following statements about the work done in bringing a charge into an electric potential field is correct?
A
The work done is independent of the path taken to bring the charge into the field.
B
The work done increases if the charge is brought in from a point of higher potential.
C
The work done is always negative when bringing a positive charge into a positive potential.
D
The work done depends on the amount of charge being moved into the potential field.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The work done in moving a charge within an electric field is path-independent, as indicated by the potential difference being a scalar quantity that only depends on the initial and final positions, not the path taken.
