Electric potential is a measure of the amount of electric potential energy that is present at a point in an electric field. It is also known as voltage.
Electric potential is calculated by dividing the electric potential energy by the amount of charge present at a point in an electric field.
The electric potential at the center of a charged rod is dependent on the length and charge of the rod. It can be calculated by using the formula V = (kQ)/L, where k is the Coulomb's constant, Q is the charge of the rod, and L is the length of the rod.
The electric potential decreases as you move away from the center of a charged rod. This is because the electric field strength decreases as you move further from the source of the charge.
Electric potential and electric field are closely related. The electric field is the force per unit charge, while electric potential is the work done per unit charge. They are related by the formula E = -∇V, where E is the electric field, V is the electric potential, and ∇ is the gradient operator.
