The electric potential.
The SI unit of electric charge is called the coulomb. It is a derived unit, and is defined as the amount of charge moved by a steady state current of one ampere for one second. Alternatively, it is defined as the amount of charge across a capacitance of one farad charged to a potential of one volt. In terms of elementary charge, from nuclear physics, it is defined as the charge represented by about 6.24150965 x 1018 protons or electrons.
Voltage is an energy per unit charge - if it takes "x" joules to move a charge of 1 coulomb from one point to another, then there is a "voltage" of "x" volts. The energy in question, of course, is a type of potential energy. In other words, a voltage does not have the dimensions of energy, but rather, energy per unit charge.
Voltage.The correct term for the amount of energy per unit of charge is potential difference.Energy = Charge * VoltageSimple rearranging gives: Voltage = Energy / ChargeTherefore a volt can be defined as a "joule per coulomb".
When the liquid is at a height h above the surface of earth its energy per unit volume is equal to hdg . Also per unit mass it is equal to gh.
zero. Energy is the product of charge and voltage, E=ev. No voltage means no energy in charge.
The energy per unit charge is called the potentialdifference.

It isn't. Voltage can be compared to the GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL, which is a concept that is related, but different from, gravitational potential energy.Voltage is the energy change PER UNIT CHARGE between two points. Gravitational potential is the energy PER UNIT MASS between two points.

Electric potential is the electric potential energy per unit coulomb. So unit for electric potential is J/C and that of electric potential energy is simply J
When the liquid is at a height h above the surface of earth its energy per unit volume is equal to hdg . Also per unit mass it is equal to gh.
The potential difference ('voltage') is equal to the work done per unit charge, i.e. the energy given to each Coulomb of charge. So, a six Volt battery provides six Joules of energy to each Coulomb of charge.
zero. Energy is the product of charge and voltage, E=ev. No voltage means no energy in charge.
