electric potential

**electric potential**

Electric potential, also known as voltage, is a fundamental concept in electromagnetism that represents the potential energy per unit charge at a specific point in an electric field. It indicates the work done to move a positive test charge from a reference point, typically infinity, to that point without producing acceleration. Measured in volts (V), electric potential is crucial in understanding circuits, electric fields, and energy transfer within electrical systems.
