Question

Define electric potential, is it a scalar or vector??

Answer 1

Answer:

Electric potential is a pure Scalar quantity, The reason is as follows.

The Electric Potential is defined as the amount of work-done per unit positive charge to bring from infinity to that point under the influence of the primary charge only.

U=W/q

And workdone is defined as the dot product of force and displacement which is a scalar quantity.

W=F.S

Thus Electric potential is a scalar quantity.

Answer 2

Answer:

v = w/q

Explanation:

potential is work done in moving a charge from infinity to any point in external field
