What is Electric potential (also called the electric field potential or the electrostatic potential) ?

An electric potential (also called the electric field potential or the electrostatic potential) is the amount of electric potential energy that a unitary point electric charge would have if located at any point in space, and is equal:

  • to the work done by an external agent in carrying a unit of positive charge 
  • from the arbitrarily chosen reference point (usually infinity) to that point
  • without any acceleration
  • without changing the system of charge which is producing this electric field.
