Electric Potential Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the electric potential of a point.
EP = q * E * d
- Where EP is the electric potential energy (Joules)
- q is the point charge (Coulombs)
- E is the electric field strength (N/C)
- d is the distance (m)
Electric Potential Definition
Electric potential energy is a specific type of potential energy that arises by the potential of a point charge to be moved by an electric field.
