Question

What do you understand by the term "ekectric potential" ? (or potential) at a point ? What is the unit of electric potential ?

Answer 1

Explanation:

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 of charge from a reference point to a specific point inside the field without producing an acceleration. Typically, the reference point is the Earth or a point at infinity, although any point can be used.
