Neutral points in an electrical circuit?
I have been told that potential in an electric circuit is defined as the work done in bringing a unit test positive charge to that point inside the circuit. Thus it satisfies the premise that ...

Electric potential in circuits
From what I understand from my notes, an e.m.f or electromotive force provided by a battery is the electrical energy per unit charge converted from other forms of energy required to drive a unit ...

Work done by electric field in a wire
Work done by electric field in moving a unit charge is the potential drop. In wires voltage (potential drop) is given by ohms law. Can somebody explain to me why work done by electric field can not be ...

When talking about potential difference in a circuit, whose work done are we talking about?
I'm asking this because it seems to me that when we talk about PD around a charge (i.e. potential difference between infinity and a point), we're talking about the work done per unit charge by an ...

What does electric potential mean in a circuit?
As we know that electric potential at a point is defined as a work done by me to carry unit charge from infinity to that point. How can I use this definition in an electric circuit that contains a ...
