potential, electric
potential, electric (symbol V) Energy required to transfer a unit positive electric charge from an infinite distance to a given point in an
electric field. The unit of electric potential is the
volt. The Earth's potential is taken by convention to be zero and a charged conductor has a higher potential. A battery's electric potential can make current flow in an external circuit. See also
potential difference
