What do you understand by the term "electric potential"? (or potential) at a point? What is the unit of electric potential?
उत्तर
The electric potential (or potential) at a point in an electric field is defined as the work done in moving a unit positive charge from infinity to that point. It is denoted by the symbol, V and its unit is volt.
