Question

5. What is electric potential?



​

Answer 1

Answer:

An electric potential is the amount of work needed to move a unit of electric charge from a reference point to a specific point in an electric field without producing an acceleration. Typically, the reference point is the Earth or a point at infinity, although any point can be used.

SI unit: volt

Other units: statvolt

In SI base units: V = kg⋅m2⋅A−1⋅s−3

Dimension: M L2 T−3 I−1
