Electric field and electric field intensity are related to electric potential.(a) True(b) FalseThis question was addressed to me in semester exam.Origin of the question is Electrostatic Potential due to a System of Charges in chapter Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

The CORRECT choice is (a) True

Easiest explanation: Yes, both are related to electric potential. The RELATIONSHIP between electric potential and electric field is a differential → electric field (E) is the gradient of electric potential (V) in the x direction. Thus, as the CHARGE moves in the x direction, the rate of its change in potential is the value of the electric field. Then, electric field can be defined as the NEGATIVE of the rate of DERIVATIVE of potential difference.
