An electric potential (also called the electric field potential, potential drop or the electrostatic potential) is the amount of work needed to move a unit positive charge from a reference point to a specific point inside the field without producing any acceleration. Typically, the reference point is Earth or a point at Infinity, although any point beyond the influence of the electric field charge can be used.

Hello Dost ☺

Answer :

Electrostatic potential:

Electrostatic potential at any point in an electric field is defined as the amount of work done in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to that point.

Its unit is volt. Positive charges move from higher to lower potential regions.

Electrons, being negatively charged, move from lower to higher potential regions.

thanks ☺
