What unit shows the difference in charge between two points?

I don't think such a unit is used, or would make much sense, in physics. That sounds like the description of voltage - unit volt. However, the volt is not really a difference in electric charge, but rather, of electric potential. It can be understood as potential energy related to electric fields: if there is an electric potential between two points, it requires a certain amount of energy to move a unit charge from one point to the other. Thus, the unit volt is equivalent to joules / coulomb.


The metric unit for work is also called a?

Work is transfer of energy; thus, the unit of work is the same as the unit of energy. The SI unit is called "Joule".Work is transfer of energy; thus, the unit of work is the same as the unit of energy.

Why does a book on a high shelf have more potential energy than on a low shelf?

Well, honey, that book on the high shelf has more potential energy because it's got farther to fall. Gravity's just itching for the chance to show off its power and send that book plummeting down to the ground. So, the higher the book, the more potential energy it's got stored up just waiting to be unleashed.

What is potential energy per unit charge?

Potential energy per unit charge is the electric potential, commonly referred to as voltage. It represents the amount of energy required to move a unit positive charge from a reference point to a given point in an electric field. The unit for potential energy per unit charge is volts (V).

What is the relationship between potential energy and electric potential?

The relationship between potential energy and electric potential is that electric potential is a measure of the potential energy per unit charge at a specific point in an electric field. In other words, electric potential is the potential energy that a unit charge would have at that point in the field.
