Question

12. (10 points) Which of the following is not true of electrical potential. A. It is a scalar field. B. The potential energy of a given charge is linearly related to the electrical potential at the point in space in which it occupies C. The electrical potential is proportional to the electric field through the gradi- D. The work required to move a given charge is linearly related to the electrical E. The electrical potential is linearly related to the force on a charge at the given ent potential at the point in space in which it occupies. point in sp ace in which said charge occupies.

Explanation / Answer

A. True.

B. energy = q (potential difference)

True.

C. E = - dV/dr

True

D. W = - q (deltaV )

True

E. F = q E

Force is linearly related to field strength not potential.

False

Ans: E
