What does “Electric potential” actually mean in Electrostatics, and why does it matter for JEE?
the work done per unit charge to bring a charge from infinity to a point, V = kQ/r.
In simple words: the work done per unit charge to bring a charge from infinity to a point, V = kQ/r. Getting Electric potential clear matters because JEE questions on Electrostatics usually test this idea directly, not just a formula you memorised.
Key point
Electric potential
Common mistake
thinking zero field means zero potential (or vice versa).
Memory tip
potential is a scalar — just add contributions with sign, no directions.
