Question

What is potential difference? Answer with a suitable example...

Answer 1

Potential difference is the difference in the potential between the two terminals of the battery or any other current source connected in the circuit. For example if we say that we have a battery of 3volts then we mean to say that when this battery will be connect in the circuit then it will maintain a potential difference of 3volts across its terminals.

Answer 2

[: The potential difference of a cell, electrical supply or electric component. It is measured in volts, 'V'. ] [: Moving electric charges, for example, electrons moving through a metal wire. ] [: A component that uses chemical reactions to supply electrical energy.
