Question

write a short note on electric potential difference

Answer 1

Answer:

The electrical potential difference is defined as the amount of work done to carrying a unit charge from one point to another in an electric field. In other words, the potential difference is defined as the difference in the electric potential of the two charged bodies. Unit: The unit of potential difference is volt.

Explanation:

Answer 2

The electric potential difference between two points a and b is

Vab = Va - Vb = [ Wa - Wb] / q

here W is work done and q is in charge

Unit of the electric potential difference is Volts or Voltage.

Electric potential difference is the work that needs to be done in moving a charge from position a to position b present in an electric field. The charge will experience some change in the potential energy, that is Electric potential difference.
