what is potential difference
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.
Answer:
Potential Difference is the amount of energy required to move a unit + charge from a point at infinity to another point. It is measured in Volts. It is represented by the letter V. It is called as Voltage.
Potential difference is Work done (Joule) per unit charge (Q).
1 V = 1 Joule / 1 Q
We use a voltmeter to measure potential difference (or voltage).
Electrical potential difference is the difference in the amount of potential energy a particle has due to its position between two locations in an electric field. This important concept provides the basis for understanding electric circuits.
