electric potential

ریشه

'Electric potential' is a term from physics. 'Electric' comes from the Greek 'ēlektron', meaning 'amber', and 'potential' from the Latin 'potentialis', meaning 'power, might, force'.

مثال

• The electric potential at a point in a static electric field in a vacuum is the work done by an external force in carrying a unit positive charge from an arbitrarily chosen reference point to that point.
• The electric potential difference between two points in an electric circuit is the work done to move a unit charge from one point to the other.
• The unit of electric potential is the volt.
