Answer: electric potential

Explanation: electric potential energy is also known as gravitational potential energy which depend on the charge of the particle in question.

It is represented mathematically by

V= PE/Q

Answer:

electric potential

Step-by-step explanation:

Electric potential energy is defined by work done to move a charge very slowly from infinite to a given position.

So it is given as


U = \int_\infty^r qE.dr

now we need to find the physical quantity which is defined as potential energy of a charge particle divided by its charge.

So it is given as


(U)/(q) = \int_\infty^r E.dr

so here energy to bring a unit test charge to move very slowly from infinite to a given position is define as electric potential of that given point

so relation is given as


V = (U)/(q)
