Physics · Electrostatic Potential
हिन्दीGiven below are two statements: Statement I: The absolute value of electrostatic potential energy at a point is physically significant and unique. Statement II: The electrostatic potential at infinity is conventionally chosen to be zero. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Correct answer · Option 4
Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
Explanation
Statement I is incorrect because potential energy is undetermined to within an additive constant (only differences are significant). Statement II is correct as infinity is chosen as the standard zero-potential reference.
