NEET Physics Potential Difference Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| (a) Work done on a charge from infinity to point P | (i) Electrostatic potential energy at point P |
| (b) Charge q accelerated by potential difference V | (ii) Energy gained by charge q |
| (c) Potential difference V between points P and R | (iii) Work done against electric field |
| (d) Electrostatic potential at infinity | (iv) Zero value of potential |
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii
a-iv, b-iii, c-ii, d-i
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The work done in bringing a charge from infinity to point P is equal to the electrostatic potential energy at that point (a-i). When a charge q is accelerated by a potential difference V, it gains energy equal to qV (b-ii). The potential difference V is related to the work done against the electric field (c-iii). The potential at infinity is considered to be zero (d-iv).
