Electric potential is the measure of the electric potential energy per unit charge at a specific point in an electric field. It is also known as voltage and is measured in volts (V).
Electric potential energy is the potential energy that a charged particle possesses due to its position in an electric field. Electric potential, on the other hand, is the amount of electric potential energy per unit charge at a specific point in an electric field.
The electric field is the gradient of the electric potential. This means that the electric field points in the direction of decreasing potential and the strength of the electric field is directly proportional to the rate of change of electric potential.
Yes, electric potential can be negative. This occurs when the electric potential energy is negative, which means that the charged particle has less potential energy at that point compared to a reference point.
Electric potential is measured using a voltmeter, which is a device that measures the potential difference between two points in an electric field. The unit of measurement for electric potential is volts (V).
