Physics-Potential Difference
NEET Physics Potential Difference Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 12
Assertion (A): The potential difference between two points is directly proportional to the work done in moving a unit positive charge between them. | Reason (R): The work done by an external force in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to a point is equal to the electrostatic potential at that point.
A
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true, but R is false.
D
A is false, but R is true.
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
While both statements are true, Reason (R) explains the concept of electrostatic potential at a point, not the potential difference between two points. Hence, R does not explain A.
