Question

Is electric potential at a point due to a charge affected by the presence of other charges?

Answer 1

The electric potential at a point due to a charge is affected by the presence of other charges.

• The electric potential informs you how much energy a single point charge would have at a given spot.
• The electrical potential at a point is equal to the electrical potential energy which is measured in joules of any charged particle at that location, divided by the particle's charge which is measured in coulombs.
