POTENTIAL FORCE
This is a measure of the energy liberated between two points in a circuit where current flows. A resistor restricts the flow of electrons and forces them to give up energy in the form of heat.
VOLTAGE
Voltage is therefore a measure of the combined 'electric charge force potential' exerted by a source of electrons: batteries, dynamo's, solar cells etc. i.e. it is the collective electron charge force able to be exerted by a huge collection of electrons.
