Question

The unit of electrostatic potential is explicitly stated in the document as:
Options
A Newton per Coulomb (N/C).
B Farad per meter (F/m).
C Joule per Coulomb (J/C) or Volt (V).
Correct Answer
D Volt-metre (Vm).
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 17, immediately after the derivation of V(r), states: 'The unit of electrostatic potential is the Joule per Coulomb, J/C or the Volt (V).'

Hint

Check the section on Electric Potential for its unit.
