Physics · Electrostatic Potential
हिन्दीConsider the following statements regarding electrostatic potential: (I) Potential at a point due to a point charge \( Q \) is inversely proportional to distance \( r \). (II) For a negative charge, potential is negative. (III) Electrostatic potential is a vector quantity. (IV) The unit of electrostatic potential is joule per coulomb. How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct answer · Option 3
Only three
Explanation
Statements (I), (II), and (IV) are correct. Statement (III) is incorrect because electric potential is a scalar quantity.
