Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the unit of electric potential?
Correct Answer: Volt (V)
  • Step 1: Understand that electric potential is a measure of how much potential energy a charge has in an electric field.
  • Step 2: Learn that the unit used to measure electric potential is called the Volt.
  • Step 3: Know that one Volt is defined as one Joule of energy per one Coulomb of charge.
  • Step 4: Remember that Joules measure energy and Coulombs measure electric charge.
