what is difference between electric potential and potential difference
Answers
Answer:
Electric potential is the value of the electrical potential (V) at a given point. Potential difference is just that, the difference in the electrical potential between two points (e.g., V(b) - V(a) ). Both potential and potential difference can be negative or positive or zero.

electric potential
The work per unit of charge required to move a charge from a reference point to a specified point, measured in joules per coulomb or volts. The static electric field is the negative of the gradient of the electric potential.
Like a bowling ball sitting at the top of a tower, a positive charge in close proximity to another positive charge has a high potential energy; left free to move, the charge would be repelled away from the like charge.
potential difference
the difference in potential energy between two points in an electric field; the difference in charge between two points in an electrical circuit; voltage
In an electrical circuit, the potential between two points (E) is defined as the amount of work done (W) by an external agent in moving a unit charge (Q) from one point to another.
Mathematically we can say that,
E = W/Q
