NEET Physics Potential Difference MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about potential difference are correct?
The potential difference between two points is independent of the path taken.
The potential difference can be zero if both points are at the same electric potential.
The work done in moving a charge between two points depends only on the potential difference.
A charge moving from a higher potential to a lower potential gains kinetic energy.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Statement A is correct as potential difference is path-independent; B and C are generally true but need specific context; D is false as it does not account for energy conversion. The NCERT context indicates the relationship between potential and work done in moving charges.
