electric 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 and its SI unit is joule per coulomb I.e Volts

The definition is as follows:
- Electric field is the electric property associated with each point charge in the space. It can also be expressed as the electric force per unit charge.
- The electric field is given as:
E = F /Q
Where,
E is the electric field.
F is the force.
Q is the charge.
- The S.I unit of electric field is V/m.
- The magnitude of electric potential is the amount of work done in moving a point charge from one point to another against the electric field with negligible acceleration.
- The SI unit of electric potential is Volts.
