SI unit of electric potential is:

Answer: Volt.

  • A Ampere
  • B Coulomb
  • C Volt
  • D Farad

Correct answer: C. Volt

Explanation: Electric potential is measured in Volts (V). 1 V = 1 J/C.

Field Lines: Single Charge vs Electric Dipole+isolated +charge: lines radiate outward, all directions+dipole: lines curve from + to − (denser between them)

Field lines always point from positive to negative charge, are denser where the field is stronger, and never cross; an isolated positive charge has lines radiating symmetrically outward, while a dipole's lines curve from the positive to the negative charge.

Concept context

Coulomb's law, electric field, potential, capacitors, Gauss's law.
