Question
Define the unit of electric potential.
✓

Answer

The unit of electric potential is the volt, which is defined as follows: "If one joule of work has to be done in bringing one coulomb test positive charge from infinity to a point under the electric field opposite to the direction of the field, then at that point the value of electric potential will be one volt."
