The dimension of electric potential is same as that of:
Correct answer: B. work done per unit charge
- A. work
- B. work done per unit charge
- C. electric field per unit charge
- D. electric force per unit charge
Explanation
The dimension of electric potential is represented as M1L2T-3I-1 which indicates that it has the same dimensions as that of work done per unit charge or potential energy per unit charge.

About Electric Potential
Electric potential is the work done per unit positive charge in bringing it from infinity to a point, while potential difference compares energy change between two points. Work includes potential due to point charges, superposition of scalar potentials, equipotential surfaces, and the relation between electric field and potential.
