Question

In the standard reference convention for electric potential, the potential at infinity is taken to be:

पर्याय

• \[qV(r)\]

• \[0\]

• Infinity

• \[1\ \text{Volt}\]

Answer 1

The standard reference convention sets the potential at infinity to zero. The potential at any point P is then defined as the work done to bring a unit positive charge from infinity to P.
