difine electrostatics potential?
To describe the potential energy associated with a charge distribution the concept of the electrostatic potential V is introduced. The electrostatic potential V at a given position is defined as the potential energy of a test particle divided by the charge q of this object.
 V= U/q
The potential energy is found out by integrating the electrostatic force.The unit of electrostatic potential is the volt (V).
