What is the difference between potential energy of a charge at a certain point and the potential at that point?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Potential energy at any point in an electrostatic field is amount of work done is moving the charge from infinity to that point, on the other hand, the potential is the work done in moving a unit charge from infinity to that point
