Read the following text and answer the questions
Electric potential at a point is defined as the amount of work done in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to that point.
So, electric potential = work done divided by the amount of charge moved.
Negative charges move from lower to higher potential. Positive charges move from higher to lower potential.
Charges gain energy while moving through a potential difference. If an electron is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 1V, it gains 1 eV energy.
