Physics · Potential difference, equipotential surfaces, electrical potential energy of a system of two point charges and of electric dipole in an electrostatic field
Potential difference between two points is equal to
Potential difference between two points is equal to
- A. electric charge / time
- B. work done/time
- C. work done/charge
- D. work done \( \times \) charge
Step-by-step solution
Potential difference between two points is defined as the work done per unit charge in moving a charge from one point to the other. Mathematically, V = W/q, where W is work done and q is charge.
