Work done in moving a charge of 6C between two points is10J. What is the potential difference between two points?
Correct answer: D. 1.66 V
- A. 60V
- B. 6V
- C. 0.6 V
- D. 1.66 V
Explanation
The formula is: V = W/QGiven that the work done ( W ) is 10J and the charge ( Q ) is 6C, the potential difference ( V ) can be calculated as: V = 10J/6C V = 5J/3C V = 1.66 VSo, the potential difference between the two points is 1.66 volts.

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.
