Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option C: Electric potential
1. Concept:

Work done per unit charge forms the foundational definition for the voltage generated by a static field.

2. Formula:

$$ V = \frac{W}{q_0} $$

3. Solution:

  • By defining \( V \) as Joules (Work) per Coulomb (Charge), this equation specifically defines Electric Potential at a given point in space.


4. Why other options are incorrect:

Electric intensity is \( F/q \). Electric power is \( W/t \). Electric field gradient is \( \Delta V/\Delta r \).

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.
