2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
medium
Distinguish difference between electric potential and electric potential energy
Option A
Option B
Option C
Option D
Solution
| Electric Potential $(V)$ | Electric Potential Energy $(U)$ |
| $(1)$ Work done against electric field to bring unit positive charge is electric potential. | $(1)$ Work done against electric field to bring charge ' $q$ ' is electric potential energy |
| $(2)$ Unit : $JC$ $^{-1}$ or Volt. | $(2)$ Unit : $J$ (Joule) |
| $(3)$ $\mathrm{V}=\frac{\mathrm{W}}{q}, q=$ unit positive charge. | $(3)$ $\mathrm{U}=q \mathrm{~V}$ |
| $(4)$ $[\mathrm{V}]=\mathrm{M}^{1} \mathrm{~L}^{2} \mathrm{~T}^{-3} \mathrm{~A}^{-1}$ | $(4)$ $[\mathrm{U}]=\mathrm{M}^{1} \mathrm{~L}^{2} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}$ |
