Physics Day

V(x, t) is a "potential." I assume it is a function relative to location (x) and time (t). This is the task of the day.

Potential is potential energy per unit charge. So usually, V = U/Q0, where U is potential energy and Q0 is a test charge.

This leads me to ask what potential energy is. But I've run out of time. To be continued...
