Potential is the energy stored in an atom.
Potential difference is the amount of work done in bringing the charge from one point to another. For example an atom is containing certain amount of energy called potential energy. The work is done and the atom is brought to a other point. Then, the work done and the change in potential energy is called potential difference.



Potential is measured in Volt.

1 volt = 1 joule/1 coloumb.

1 potential charge = work done / charge taken.

Potential difference is said to be 1 volt when the amount of work done in bringing the charge from one place to another is 1 joule.

Potential is a scaler quantity. It means that potential gives the magnitude but no direction.


If you agree.....the a BRAINLIEST pls.

The work done to move a unit positive charge from infinity to that point is called electric potential.
The amount of work done in moving a unit charge from one point to the other point is called potential difference.
