Which statement about electric potential at a point must be correct?

The potential is given by the rate of change of electric field strength with distance

the potential is defined as the work done per unit positive charge in moving one electron from the point to infinity

alternative units for electric potential are the joule and the volt

the potential due to a system of point charges is given by the sum of the potentials due to the individual charges
