Question

Electric potential and electric potential energy

are synonyms for the same physical quantity -- the potential energy per unit charge.
are synonyms for the same physical quantity -- the potential energy of a given charge.
are two different but related physical quantities (electric potential energy is electric potential per unit charge).
are two different but related physical quantities (electric potential is electric potential energy per unit charge)

Answer 1

Voltage is potential

Charge times voltage is potential energy
Thus the potential (Voltage) is potential energy per unit charge

Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

The correct answer is: Electric potential and electric potential energy are two different but related physical quantities. Electric potential refers to the potential energy per unit charge, measured in volts (V). It represents the amount of work needed to bring a unit positive test charge from infinity to a specific point in an electric field. On the other hand, electric potential energy refers to the potential energy of a given charge, measured in joules (J). It represents the amount of potential energy a charge possesses due to its position in an electric field. So while they are related, they are not synonyms and have distinct meanings and units.
