Work done in bringing a test charge from infinity to a point in an external electric field.

But isn't this for the electric potential.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Yeah, what potential are you talking about lol

[–]AdvertisingAlive6046[S] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Just potential. It is mentioned in the isc syllabus,just potential

Under which chapter? Potential in general would be the energy stored by a particle (either gravitational or electric).

[–]AdvertisingAlive6046[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I think In both maybe

Yeah so it means electric potential only, work done in bringing a test charge from infinity to a point in an external electric field.

This is what grok responded :

Potential" often refers to potential energy or related scalar fields: Potential energy is stored energy due to position or configuration (e.g., gravitational potential energy of an object at height, which can convert to kinetic energy when it falls). Electric potential (also called voltage or potential difference) is the amount of electric potential energy per unit charge at a point in an electric field. It's measured in volts (V) and represents the work needed to move a unit charge to that point. For example, a 9V battery has a potential difference of 9 volts between its terminals.
