Differences between electric potential and potential difference

Yaswanth S M 2 years, 6 months ago

Electric potential at a point in an Electric field (for instance, let's take it as uniform) is the amount of work done in moving a unit positive charge from infinity to that point against electric forces. (attraction or repulsion) whereas Electric potential difference between two points in an Electric field is defined as the amount of work done in moving unit positive charge from one point to another point against the electric force. In other words, Potential difference is simply the difference of scalar potentials between two points or anything you consider.
