- MCQ
Which one of the following is not a measurable quantity ?
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Voltage
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Here from voltage, question refers to potential. We can measure potential difference between two points but not potential at any point.
Note : If the potential of reference point is known then we can measure potential as well.
