Electric Potential | MCQs

Explanation

When electrons move from low to high potential, they lose energy as they move against the electric field.

This results in a decrease in their kinetic energy, making them slower.

In contrast, when they move from high to low potential, they gain energy and speed up.

Explanation

The work done on a unit charge against an electric field intensity is called electric potential.

It is also known as voltage or potential difference.

It is measured in volts (V) and represents the energy transferred per unit charge.

Electric potential (V) = Work done (W) / Charge (Q)

V = W / Q
