Define the term potential difference.

Open in App

Solution

Potential difference between two conductors is equal to the work done in transferring a unit positive charge from one conductor to the other conductor. It is a scalar quantity.
If 'W' work is done in transferring a test charge q from one conductor to the other, the potential difference between them is given by:
$V_{1} - V_{2} = \frac{w}{q}$
