Electric Potential and Potential Difference

IMPORTANT

Electric Potential and Potential Difference: Overview

This topic discusses that electric potential at a point is the work done in moving a unit positive charge from infinity to the point in the electric field. Potential difference is the work done in moving a unit positive charge from one point to another in the same electric field.
