electrical potential
Energy per charge
Electrical potential is the amount of work needed to move a unit of electric charge from a reference point to a specific point in an electric field.
It measures the potential energy per unit charge at a location.
The difference in electrical potential between two points is voltage: The electrical potential at the positive terminal is higher than at the negative.
Also called electric potential.
