Question

What is the difference between [electrostatic potential] due to a group/system of charges and [electrostatic potential energy] due to a group/system of charges ?

Answer 1

work done to take a positive charge from Infinity 2 electric field is known as electric potential

Answer 2

$\huge{ \underline{\underline{ \fcolorbox{white}{pink}{\sf{Answer :-}}}}}$

First of all , Let's know what Potential is ?

Potential :- At any point in an electric field, it's the amount of work done by an external agent against electric forces in moving a unit positive charge from Infinity to that point Without changing it's Kinetic Energy.

Therefore,

The potential due to a Continuous system of charges is given by,

$\: \large \boxed{\large \bold \pink{\int k \frac{dq}{r} }} </p><p>$

Now,

For different system of charges,

Potential is also different.
