Work done per unit test charge is characteristic of the electric field associated with the charge configuration. This leads to the idea of electrostatic potential V due to a given charge configuration.
In other words, the electrostatic potential (V) at any point in a region with electrostatic field is the work done in bringing a unit positive charge (without acceleration) from infinity to that point.
Work done by external force in bringing a unit positive charge from point R to P
where VP and VR are the electrostatic potentials at P and R, respectively.
Work done by an external force in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to a point = electrostatic potential (V) at that point.
SI unit of Potential difference is Volt. 1V=1Nm C-1
