Physics · Electrostatic Potential
हिन्दीGiven below are two statements: Statement I: The superposition principle applies to electrostatic potential, meaning the total potential at a point due to a group of charges is the algebraic sum of potentials due to individual charges. Statement II: Electrostatic potential energy can be assigned to a single charge in an external electric field without needing the source charges. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Correct answer · Option 1
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
Explanation
Both statements are correct; potential follows superposition, and potential energy of a charge in an external field depends on the external potential at that point.
