Define Electric potential, voltmeter, current and ohm's law.
Answers
★ ELECTRIC POTENTIAL:
- Electric potential at a point in an electric field is equal to amount of work done in: bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to that point.
★ VOLTMETER:
- A device which is used for measuring the potential difference across any two points of a conductor is called voltmeter.
★ ELECTRIC CURRENT:
- The rate of flow of charge through a conductor is called current.
★ OHM'S LAW:
- At any constant temperature, the current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential applied across it.

Electric potential:
An electric potential (also called the electric field potential, potential drop or the electrostatic potential) is the amount of work needed to move a unit of charge from a reference point to a specific point inside the field without producing an acceleration. Typically, the reference point is the Earth or a point at infinity, although any point can be used.
Voltmeter:
A voltmeter is an instrument used for measuring electrical potential difference between two points in an electric circuit. Analog voltmeters move a pointer across a scale in proportion to the voltage of the circuit; digital voltmeters give a numerical display of voltage by use of an analog to digital converter.
Current:
An electric current is the rate of flow of electric charge past a point or region. An electric current is said to exist when there is a net flow of electric charge through a region. In electric circuits this charge is often carried by electrons moving through a wire.
Ohm's Law:
It is a law stating that electric current is proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance.
