Which of the following is a scalar quantity ?
-
- Velocity
- Force
- Angular momentum
- Electrostatic potential
- Velocity
Correct Option: D
The electrostatic potential at any point in an electric field is defined as the work done in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to that point against the electric force of the field. It is given by, V = W/q, where V is the potential, W is work done, and q the charge. Because work and charge both are scalar quantity, electrostatic potential is also a scalar quantity
