Question

Define Potential Gradient. ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

In physics, chemistry and biology, a potential gradient is the local rate of change of the potential with respect to displacement, i.e. spatial derivative, or gradient.

This quantity frequently occurs in equations of physical processes because it leads to some form of flux.

Hope it helps...

Answer 2

Potential gradient is defined as the change in potential with respect to distance.

dV/dx,dV/dy,dV/dz represents potential gradient distance w.r.t x axis,y axis and z axis respectively.

The SI unit of potential gradient is volt metre-1 (Vm-1).
