Electric Potential: Scalar quantity, like height. Electric Field: Vector quantity, like the slope of that height.

Electric potential is the electric potential energy per unit charge at a point in space; measured in volts (V).

The change in electric potential energy per unit charge when moving a test charge between two points.

Electric potential difference; the driving force behind electric current.

Lines that connect points of equal electric potential. No work is done moving a charge along these lines.

The direction a positive test charge would move; they point in the direction of decreasing potential (from high to low).
