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

Question

According to the document, what is the definition of the Potential Difference between point-A and point-B?
Options
A The total electric field between A and B.
B The work done by electrical forces in carrying a unit positive test-charge from A to B.
C The work done against electrical forces in carrying a unit positive test-charge from A to B.
Correct Answer
D The charge accumulated between A and B.
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 10 states: '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 highlights that potential difference relates to the energy required to move a charge against the field.

Hint

Pay close attention to whether the work is done by or against electrical forces.
