Electric potential is the voltage at a point in space is the energy required to bring a unit positive charge from infinity to that point. It is a scalar quantity. It is denoted by V and its units are Volts, or Joules/Coulomb.
Electric potential is the reason for electricity to flow from higher potential to lower potential. Electric field exists from a point of higher potential to lower potential.
Electric potential energy of a system of charges is the total energy required to bring all the charges from infinity to their respective locations, in presence of others. Electric potential energy of two charges q and -q separated by a distance r is equal to - 1/4πε * q² / r . It is measured in Joules or Coulomb volts.
