Solution

  1. Work done in moving a unit's positive test charge from one point to other inside an electric field is called the potential difference between the two points.
  2. We know, W=q×V Where, W is work and V is the potential difference
  3. In the above equation if we take unit charge then W = V. It means that for unit charge work done is equal to the potential difference.
