Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option A: Work per unit charge
1. Concept:

Electric potential describes the amount of potential energy per unit of charge at a specific point in space, which equates to the work required to bring that charge from infinity.

2. Formula:

$$ V = \frac{W}{q} $$

3. Solution:

  • The formula strictly states that Potential (\( V \)) is the Work (\( W \)) accomplished divided by the Charge (\( q \)).


4. Why other options are incorrect:

Force per unit charge defines the Electric Field Intensity (\( E \)). Power per unit charge is not a standard electrostatic quantity.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
