Physics · Electrostatic Potential
हिन्दीConsider the following statements regarding potential energy of a charge configuration: (A) Potential energy can be assigned only to conservative forces. (B) Absolute potential energy of a system has a unique, fixed physical value. (C) The choice of zero potential energy reference is arbitrary. (D) Electrostatic potential energy is stored when work is done against electrostatic repulsion. How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct answer · Option 3
Only three
Explanation
Statements (A), (C), and (D) are correct. Statement (B) is incorrect because potential energy depends on the choice of zero reference and is determined only up to an additive constant.
