Electric potential at a point in electric field is defined to be equal to the minimum work done by an external agent in moving a unit positive charge from infinity or a reference point to that point against the electrical force of the field. If W is the work done by external agent in bringing a positive test charge qo from infinity to a point then the potential V at that point,
According to Newtons Third Law of motion i.e. for every action there is equal and opposite reaction
The work done by an external agent in bringing a positive test charge qo from infinity to a point will be equal and opposite ti the work done by the electric field on a positive test charge qo, if
The SI unit of electric potential is joule/coulomb or volt.
Potential Difference: Potential difference between two points is equal to the minimum work done in moving a unit positive test charge from one point to the other.
,
is the work done by the electric field then
Hence the work done by external agent
And Work done by the electric field is
We know that heat energy flows from the higher temperature to the lower temperature, and this process stops when the both are at the same temperature. Same is the case with electricity, when the ends of an electrical conductor are at different potentials or we can say that when there is a potential difference - charge in the conductor flow from the higher potential to the lower potential.The flow of charge persists until both ends reach the same potential. Without a potential difference, no flow of charge will take place.
Illustration: How much work is done in moving a charge of 2 C from a point of 118 V to a point at 128 V ?
Solution: Given, charge, q = 2 C
Potential at point A
and Potential at point B
Work done, W = ? We know that,

My experience was very good with Abhyas academy. I am studying here from 6th class and I am satisfied by its results in my life. I improved a lot here ahead of school syllabus.
It has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice
Abhyas Methodology is very good. It is based on according to student and each child manages accordingly to its properly. Methodology has improved the abilities of students to shine them in future.
It was good as the experience because as we had come here we had been improved in a such envirnment created here.Extra is taught which is beneficial for future.
A marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.
I have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
My experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
It was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.
Being a parent, I saw my daughter improvement in her studies by seeing a good result in all day to day compititive exam TMO, NSO, IEO etc and as well as studies. I have got a fruitful result from my daughter.
Abhyas is a complete education Institute. Here extreme care is taken by teacher with the help of regular exam. Extra classes also conducted by the institute, if the student is weak.
