Voltage and Electrical Potential Energy

First we compared gravitational potential energy to a new quantity, electrical potential energy.
Then we took some notes about electric potential, also known as voltage.
Your homework is Voltage.

      First thing: voltage and electric potential are the same thing - the electric potential ENERGY per unit of charge.

      Electric potential energy is not the same thing as electric potential/voltage. It is all the potential energy stored in a charge, but electric potential/voltage is the energy PER UNIT OF CHARGE.
