Question

please define the following
1.electric potential
2.potential difference​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hii,

Explanation:

1. ELECTRIC POTENTIAL : The electric potential is the amount of work energy needed to move a unit of electric charge from a reference point to the specific point in an electric field with negligible acceleration of the test charge to avoid producing kinetic energy or radiation by test charge.

2. POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE : The potential difference between points A and B, VB – VA, is defined to be the change in potential energy of a charge q moved from A to B, divided by the charge. Units of potential difference are joules per coulomb, given the name volt (V) after Alessandro Volta.
