NEET Physics Potential Difference Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The potential difference between two points is significant, not the absolute potential values. | Reason (R): Work done in moving a charge between two points depends only on the potential difference, not on the individual potentials.
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.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The NCERT context highlights that the potential difference, not the individual potential values, is physically significant. The work done in moving a charge is determined by this potential difference.
