Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When a charge of 3 C is moved from infinity to a point X in an electric field, the work done is 15 J. What is the electric potential at X?
A
45 V
B
22.5 V
C
15 V
D
5 V
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Electric potential at a point in an electric field is defined as the work done in moving a unit positive charge from infinity to that point.

Detailed explanation-2: -A charge of 10 C is brought from infinity to a point near a charged body and in this process, 200 J of work is done.

Detailed explanation-3: -Remember to explain how work is done in a conservative field independent of the path taken. Then move to explain the electric potential and the work is done in an electric field. Then use the equation $W = qV$ to calculate the work done.
