About this document
Understanding Electric Potential and Voltage by gea2000294 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Electric potential at a point is defined as the work done per unit charge in bringing a positive test charge from infinity to that point, measured in volts (joule/coulomb). The potential is positive near positive charges and negative near negative charges due to the work done against or by the electric forces. The potential difference between two points in a circuit is the work done per unit charge in moving a test charge from one point to another.
