Electric potential is the amount of electric potential energy per unit charge at a specific point in an electric field. Electric potential energy, on the other hand, is the energy stored in an object due to its position in an electric field. In simpler terms, electric potential is like the "pressure" at a point in the field, while electric potential energy is the "stored energy" of an object in that field.
