Solution

Answer:

Electric Pressure: Electric pressure also known as electric tension or electric potential difference. Electrical pressure is not a pressure as pressure is commonly we known it is used to measure emf. SI unit of electric pressure is Volt.

Assume, the analogy of flow of water. Charges do not flow in a copper wire by themselves, just as water in a perfectly horizontal tube does not flow. if one end of the tube is connected to a tank of water kept at a higher level then, there is a pressure difference between the ends of the two tubes and water flows out of the other end of the tube.
Same is the flow of charges in a conductor and the electrons move in the conductor if there is a difference of electric pressure.
