The electric potential difference between two points is a path function. The statement is __________(a) True(b) FalseThe question was asked in my homework.Question is from Electrostatic Potential in section Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

Correct answer is (b) False

To elaborate: ELECTRIC potential depends only on the electric field intensity and the amount of charge. It has no dependency on the path by which the charge is traveling. Therefore, if we move a charge from one point to ANOTHER in PRESENCE of an electric field in a straight line or a curve line, WORK done in both the cases will be the same i.e. potential difference between the points will be the same.
