The work done in bringing a unit positive Charge from infinite distance to a point at distance x from a +ve charge G is W. Find potential.

  • Electric potential at a point in an electric field is defined as the work done in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to that point. 
Or,   V=W/q
  • Since charge is of magnitude unity, Hence electric potential at that point will be equal to the workdone ∴ϕ=W
