Answer 2

Electric potential is scalar quantity.

Electric potential is used to refer to the work that needs to be done to move a charge unit from one reference point to one specific point within the electric field without any acceleration.  

The term electric potential is also referred to as electrostatic potential, electric field potential or potential drop. It is represented by the symbol V and has no direction, only magnitude.
