At a point in space, the electric potential (also called the "electrostatic potential") is potential energy divided by charge that is associated with a static (time-invariant) electric field. It is a scalar quantity, typically measured in volts. There is also a generalized electric scalar potential that is used in electrodynamics when time-varying electromagnetic fields are present. This generalized electric potential cannot be simply interpreted as the ratio of potential energy to charge, however.

  • The electric potential is the potential energy per unit of charge that is associated with a static (time-invariant) electric field. It is typically measured in volts. The difference in electrical potential between two points is known as voltage.
