Question

The rate of change of potential with respect to the distance is called as?
Options
A Potential difference
B Potential Gradient
Correct Answer
C Capacitance
D Potential energy
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

By definition, the potential gradient is dV/dx, the rate at which electric potential changes with position, and it is related to the electric field by E = -dV/dx.

Hint

This is directly the definition of the term 'potential gradient.'
