PHY 102 Coulomb's law and Electric Fields Objective Question
Take CBT

Question

The potential difference between two points, A and B, is defined as the work done against electrical forces in carrying what kind of charge from A to B?
Options
A Any positive charge
B A unit negative test-charge
C A unit positive test-charge
Correct Answer
D Any charge q
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

According to the text on page 10, 'The Potential Difference between point-A and point-B is the work done against electrical forces in carrying a unit positive test-charge from A to B.' This definition sets the standard for potential difference.

Hint

Recall the fundamental definition of potential difference from the 'Electric Potential; Capacitance' section.
