Electric Potential is the voltage of something. It is also known as electric Potential difference.The units for electric potential are joules/charge. Something in the "real world" that has electric potential is an outlet. It has a voltage because it has about 120volts/charge. The amount of volts isn't what hurts people it is the amount of charge that matters. My picture relates to this because it is a picture of a outlet. When I plugged in my laptop charger to this outlet it sparked. If I put a screwdriver in the outlet instead of a charger plug then I would have been electrocuted. Isn't that shocking?
