Question

In the definition of electric potential, the electric potential at infinity is assumed to be

• A. Infinity
• B. zero
• C. $1$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B zero

Potential $\left(V\right)$ at a point varies inversely with the distance $r$ i.e, $V\propto \frac{1}{r}$; when $r=\infty$

$V=0$

So, the electric potential at infinity is assumed to be zero.
