Question

Explain potential difference by illustrating it and give example.

Answer 1

Potential Difference. Potential difference , or voltage, is the difference inelectric potential energy between two points. It is denoted by ∆V and has units of volts, or joules per Coulomb. Potential is the specific potential energy.

Definition of potential difference

: 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
