Electric potential, also known as the electric field potential, potential drop, the electrostatic potential, is the difference in electric potential energy per unit of electric charge between two points in a static electric field. More precisely, electric potential is the amount of work needed to move a test charge from a reference point to a specific point in a static electric field, normalized to a unit of charge.
