Physics · Electrostatic Potential

हिन्दी

A test charge \( q \) is moved slowly from a point R to a point P against a repulsive electrostatic force due to a source charge \( Q > 0 \). If the work done by the external force is \( W_{RP} \), the potential energy difference \( \Delta U = U_P - U_R \) is given by:

  1. A
    \( W_{RP} \)
  2. B
    \( -W_{RP} \)
  3. C
    \( \frac{W_{RP}}{q} \)
  4. D
    \( -\frac{W_{RP}}{q} \)
View Answer & Solution

Correct answer · Option A

\( W_{RP} \)

Explanation

By definition, the potential energy difference between two points is equal to the work done by an external force in moving the charge from R to P without acceleration, hence \( \Delta U = U_P - U_R = W_{RP} \).
