electric potential at a point is 10v what do you mean?
Answers
Answer:
Electric potential at a point is 10 V means that at that particular point 10 Joules of work is being done per coulomb of charge.
In other word,
Work done on 1 Coulomb of charge is 10 Joules, which means electric potential at a point is 10 V.
Remember the definition of electric potential : Electric 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. (*scratch this last part if your mind gets confused)
In simple terms : its the work done on a unit charge to move from some point to another some point.
Hope it helps :)
(Understanding electric potential is way more easy if you visualize it using a diagram, draw a cute little charge having a unit charge, and if you want to move it from it's drawn position to some other desired position , then you will draw it again, right? And the amount of work that took you to draw it is the electric potential, just not really electric unless you replace yourself with a battery or something, which will sound like ; amount of work done by the battery to move that charge is electric potential, this should explain a lot.)
