What is Electrostatic Potential?

An electrostatic potential is the amount of work needed to move a unit of electric charge from a reference point to a specific point in an electric field without producing an acceleration.

Difference between Electric Field and Electric Potential

The electric field is the force on a test charge divided by its charge for any position in space. Since it's derived from a force, it's a vector field. The electric potential is the electric potential energy of a test charge divided by its charge for any position in space. Since it's derived from energy, it's a scalar field.
