NEET Physics Potential Difference MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about potential difference is correct?
The potential difference is defined as the work done per unit charge in moving a charge between two points.
The potential difference is the same regardless of the path taken between two points in an electric field.
The potential difference increases with increasing distance from the charges in a uniform electric field.
A positive charge moves from a point of higher potential to a point of lower potential without any work done by the field.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The potential difference is indeed defined as the work done per unit charge in moving a charge between two points, as stated in the context. Other statements reflect misconceptions about the nature of electric fields and potential.
