Potential is defined as work done per unit test charge so that the result:
ADoes not depend on q
BDoubles with q
CIs always zero
DDepends on the path
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Does not depend on q
1. The work on a test charge is proportional to q.
2. Dividing by q removes that dependence.
3. So the result is independent of q.
