Electric potential energy Ue is the potential energy stored when charges are out of equilibrium (like gravitational potential energy). Electric potential is the same, but per charge, Ueq. An electric potential difference between two points is called voltage, V=Ue2q-Ue1q.
Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
There are multiple differences between electric potential energy and electric potential, but I want to include one major point -
The value of electric potential gives you the amount of work that needs to be done. This can be translated into a formula where the charge q has a potential energy of Vq with a potential of V - at a set distance r. Thus, electric potential is represented by V ( Volts ),
V = kq / r
_______________________________________________________
Electric potential energy is represented by U rather than V. Two charges are set with distance r,
U = k( q1 )( q2 ) / r
Hope that helps!
