Solution

The correct option is A True
  1. Potential is defined as the electrical property of a substance that specifies the direction of the flow of charge.
  2. Electric potential gives the direction of flow of charge that is from higher potential to lower potential.
  3. The unit of potential difference is volt (V).
  4. Electric potential is defined as the amount of work done to move a unit positive charge from infinity to that point.

Electricpotential=workdonecharge

Hence, the given statement is false.
