What is potential difference? Explain and give its unit with definition
Answers
Answer:
the difference in potential between two points that represents the work involved or the energy released in the transfer of a unit quantity of electricity from one point to the other.
The S.I Unit of potential difference is volt (V). 1 volt =One volt is the potential difference between two points in a current carrying conductor when 1 joule of work is done to move a charge of 1 coulomb from one point to the other. The potential difference is measured by an instrument called voltmeter.
Hey mate,
Potential difference is the difference in the amount of energy that charge carriers have between two points in a circuit. ... The energy is transferred to the electrical components in a circuit when the charge carriers pass through them. We use a voltmeter to measure potential difference (or voltage).
