NEET Physics Potential Difference MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about potential difference is correct?
The potential difference between two points is independent of the path taken.
The work done by a conservative force is not equal to the potential difference.
Potential difference can be zero even when the electric field is present.
Electric potential increases with increasing distance from a positive charge.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The potential difference is defined based on the work done by an external force against the electric field, which is path-independent due to the conservative nature of electrostatic forces.
