Take CBT

Question

According to the text, the Potential Difference between two points A and B is defined as the work done against electrical forces in carrying what?
Options
A A positive charge of 1 Coulomb from A to B.
B A unit positive test-charge from A to B.
Correct Answer
C Any charge q from B to A.
D A unit negative test-charge from B to A.
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The text 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.' (Page 10)

Hint

Pay close attention to the specific type and magnitude of charge mentioned in the definition of potential difference.
