Question

what is potential difference and give any two properties of potential difference ?​

Answer 1

Potential difference is the work done in moving a unit of positive electric charge from one point to another.

PROPERTIES

Electric field is in the direction in which potential decreases at the maximum rate.

Magnitude of electric field is given by change in the magnitude of potential per unit displacement normal to a charged conducting surface.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The potential difference between two points A and B is actually the work done by external agent against the electric field in taking a unit positive charge from A to B with no change in its kinetic energy between the initial and the final points .

$\boxed{\underline{\bold{\mathsf{\delta K = 0 \:or\: k_i =k_f}}}}$

$\huge{\boxed{\underline{\bold{\mathsf{ Properties:- }}}}}$

◾The difference of the potential between any two points is called potential difference. It is also called as voltage.

◾Potential difference is a scalar quantity.

◾Its S.I. unit is also volt.

◾ Potential difference between any two points is independent of reference point.
