Electric Potential
Electric potential describes the amount of electric potential energy per unit charge at a point in space. It is measured in volts. It represents the work needed to move a positive electric charge from a reference point to a specific point within the field, without producing any acceleration. It is measured in volts. It indicates how much potential energy a unit charge would gain or lose moving into that point in the field.
Potential due to an Electric Dipole
The potential due to an electric dipole at a point in space is the electric potential energy per unit charge that a test charge would experience at that point due to the dipole. An electric potential is the amount of work needed to move a unit of positive charge from a reference point to a specific point inside an electric field without producing acceleration. In this article, we will discuss the potential due to an electric dipole and its derivation.
