  "term": "Electric potential",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "The quantity of potential energy per unit of electric charge at a specific location within an electric field. It represents the work done to move a positive test charge from an infinitely distant reference point, or another defined zero-potential point, to that location without causing acceleration. Measured in volts (V), the electric potential difference between two points is what drives the flow of current in a circuit.",
