What do you mean by the term infinity (bringing charge particle from infinity) in topic potential difference?

Solution

It means that we want to calculate the energy required to get a charge from an infinitely far distance or a very large distance to a point because the potential energy at infinity is 0. This energy will give the potential of the point.
