Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance Class 12 Notes Chapter 2 1. Electrostatic Potential The electrostatic potential at any point in an electric field is equal to the amount of work done per unit positive test charge or in bringing the unit positive test charge from infinite to that point, against the electrostatic force without acceleration. NOTE:…
