NEET Physics Potential Difference MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about potential difference is correct?
The potential difference is the work done per unit charge in moving a charge between two points in an electric field.
Potential difference is always calculated using the absolute values of charges at two points.
A higher potential difference results in a lower energy gain for a charge moving in the electric field.
The potential difference can be negative if the work done is against the electric field direction.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The potential difference is defined as the work done per unit charge in moving a charge within an electric field, as indicated in the context provided.
