NEET Physics Potential Difference MCQ Question
What is the significance of potential difference in electrostatics?
It indicates the work done to move a unit charge between two points.
It represents the total charge stored in a capacitor.
It measures the electric field strength at a point.
It determines the capacitance of a circuit.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The potential difference is significant as it represents the work done by an external force in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to a point in the electric field.
