Question

the electric potential is the work accomplished to bring a positive charge from infinite distance to a certain point in an electric field, And we know that W=Fs. Now here the s or distance is infinite so how is the work or electric potential calculated?

Answer 1

Answer:

hey mate ..

for calculating work done in an electric potential we are not advised to use that formula but we should use a diff formula .. i.e. W=q.∆V

as we are bringing charge from infinity so the potential diff. would be the actual potential in that area ..

hope it helps.. plzz mark as brainlest ... and plz do follow..

Answer 2

Answer: here work done formula is not W=FS. It's W=q∆V. Where q is equal to charge and ∆V is the change in potential.

Explanation: voltage at infinity is considered as 0. And if the charge approach the electric field its potential decreases.
