Electric potential is a measure of the electric potential energy per unit charge at a given point in space.
Electric potential is a scalar quantity that describes the potential energy of a charge at a given point, while electric field is a vector quantity that describes the force experienced by a charge at a given point.
Electric potential is calculated by dividing the electric potential energy by the charge at a given point. This can be represented by the equation V = U/q, where V is the electric potential, U is the electric potential energy, and q is the charge.
The unit of electric potential is volts (V) in the SI system. It can also be expressed in joules per coulomb (J/C) or newtons per coulomb (N/C).
The electric potential at point A and B are related by the equation V(A) - V(B) = -∫E•dl, where V(A) and V(B) are the electric potentials at points A and B respectively, E is the electric field, and dl is the infinitesimal displacement along the electric field line.
