NEET Physics Potential Difference Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The potential difference between two points is the work done by an external force in bringing a unit positive charge from one point to another. | Reason (R): The potential difference is the actual value of potential at a point.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The assertion is true because the potential difference is indeed the work done per unit charge. However, the reason is false because it is the potential difference, not the actual value of the potential, that is significant.
