Question

Which of the following statement best describe the Electric potential ?

• A. It is a vector quantity
• B. It is proportional to the work done in an electric field
• C. It is always equal to the electric field
• D. It is zero when a charge is present in an electric field
• E. It is measured in N/C

Answer 1

The correct option is B It is proportional to the work done in an electric field

Electric potential at a point with respect to another is the work done in moving a charged species in an electric field from one point to another per unit charge.
$V\left(r_2\right)-V\left(r_1\right)={\int }_{r_1}^{r_2}Edr$
