Question

Work done in moving a unit positive charge from infinite to a point inside an electric field is called

Answer 1

Answer:

Definition

Work done in moving a unit positive charge from infinity to a point inside an electric field is known as electric potential at that point.

It is usually denoted by V and is a scalar quantity.

Formula

In general, electric potential(V) and electric field intensity(E) are related by

V = - ∫E.dl

or

$E = - \frac{dV}{dr}$
