Physics · Electrostatic Potential
हिन्दीGiven below are two statements: Statement I: The potential due to a point charge \( Q \) is positive if \( Q > 0 \) and negative if \( Q < 0 \). Statement II: Electrostatic potential is a vector quantity having both magnitude and direction. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Correct answer · Option 3
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
Explanation
Statement I is true because potential follows the sign of charge \( Q \). Statement II is false because electrostatic potential is a scalar quantity.
