AI Generated Solution

To distinguish between electric potential and electric potential energy and state the relation between them, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define Electric Potential Electric potential (V) at a point in an electric field is defined as the amount of work done in moving a unit positive test charge from infinity to that point against the electrostatic force. Mathematically, it can be expressed as: \[ V = \frac{W}{Q_0} \] where \( W \) is the work done and \( Q_0 \) is the unit positive charge. ### Step 2: Define Electric Potential Energy ...
