It tells us how much work would be needed to bring a small positive test charge from a reference point (usually infinity) to that point. Electric potential (V) = Potential energy (U) divided by charge (q). So, V = U / q For a point charge Q, the electric potential at a distance r is: V = k * Q / r where k is Coulomb's constant (approximately 9 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²), Q is the source charge, and r is the distance from the charge. Key Points: Electric potential is a scalar quantity. Its unit is the volt (V), where 1 volt equals 1 joule per coulomb. A higher electric potential means more potential energy for a positive charge. The electric field is related to electric potential: the electric field points in the direction where potential decreases most rapidly. At Manocha Academy, learning Science and Math is Easy!
