Question

Potential in electrostatics is analogous to:

• A. pressure in gases
• B. temperature in thermal physics
• C. levels in liquids
• D. all of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

all of the above

Potential in electrostatics is the workdone required to move a charge from one position to another.

Similarly in thermodynamics pressure is required to do work on the gas ot through heating or cooling it also amounts to workdone on the gas.

In case of liquids too work is done on the liquid to affect the volume.
