<P> An electric potential (also called the electric field potential or the electrostatic potential) is the amount of work needed to move a unit positive charge from a reference point to a specific point inside the field without producing any acceleration . Typically, the reference point is Earth or a point at Infinity, although any point beyond the influence of the electric field charge can be used . </P> <P> According to classical electrostatics, electric potential is a scalar quantity denoted by (V), equal to the electric potential energy of any charged particle at any location (measured in joules) divided by the charge of that particle (measured in coulombs). By dividing out the charge on the particle a quotient is obtained that is a property of the electric field itself . </P>
