Solution

  1. Electric potential is defined as the amount of work done to move a unit of positive charge from infinity to that point.
  2. The electric potential at a point is equal to the work done by external force in bringing the unit positive charge from infinity to a point inside the electric field without changing the kinetic energy.
  3. electricpotential=workdonecharge
  4. Unit of potential difference is volt(V).
  5. 1V=1joule1coulomb

Hence, Potential difference is defined as work done per unit charge.
