Definition: Electric Potential

Electric potential at a point is the work done in bringing a unit positive test charge from infinity to that point in an electric field.

The SI unit of electric potential is the volt.

CBSE: Class 12

Definition: Potential Difference

The difference in electrical potentials between two points is known as potential difference or voltage.

The unit of potential difference or potential is joule/coulomb, called a volt (V).

CBSE: Class 12

Formula: Potential Due to a Dipole

\[V=\frac{q(2a\cos\theta)}{4\pi\varepsilon_0(r^2-a^2\cos^2\theta)}\]

if r ≫ a:

\[V=\frac{p\cos\theta}{4\pi\varepsilon_0r^2}\]

CBSE: Class 12

Formula: Potential at a Point Due to a System of Charges

\[V=\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\sum_{i=1}^n\frac{q_i}{r_i}\]
