NEET Physics Potential Difference MCQ Question
Which of the following statements regarding potential difference is correct?
The potential difference is the actual value of potential at a point in space.
The work done in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to a point is equal to the electrostatic potential at that point.
Potential difference depends on the configuration of charge distribution only.
The potential difference between two points is the sum of the potentials at those points.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The work done by an external force in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to a point is indeed defined as the electrostatic potential (V) at that point, as stated in the context provided.
