Electrostatic potential

electric potential

(Physics / General Physics)

a. the work required to transfer a unit positive electric charge from an infinite distance to a given point against an electric field

b. the potential difference between the point and some other reference point. Symbol V, φ Sometimes shortened to potential

electric potential

A measure of the work required by an electric field to move electric charges. Its unit is the volt. Also called voltage. See more at Ohm's law.
