Is it correct to say that electric potential is nothing but potential energy the only difference is that potential energy is for all the magnitude of charge whereas electric potential is only for 1 coulomb of charge.

Solution,
yes the above statement is correct. The basic difference between electric potential and electric potential energy is that Electric potential at a point in an electric field is the amount of work done to bring the unit positive charge from infinity to that point, while electric potential energy is the energy that is needed to move a charge against the electric field
