MCQ
What is the $S.I.$ unit of electric potential?
  • A
    Ampere
  • Volt
  • C
    Volt.m
  • D
    Coulomb

Answer

Correct option: B.
Volt

An electric potential $($also called the electric field potential or the electrostatic potential$)$ is the amount of electric potential energy that a unitary point electric charge would have if located at any point of space, and is equal to the work done by an electric field in carrying a unit positive charge from infinity to that point.
This value can be calculated in either a static $($time$-$invariant$)$ or a dynamic $($varying with time$)$ electric field at a specific time in units of joules per coulomb, or volts $(V).$ The electric potential at infinity is assumed to be zero.
