Question

What is potential difference

Answer 1

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


Electric Potential Difference

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.

When a body is charged to a different electric potential as compared to the other charged body, the two bodies are said to a potential difference. Both the bodies are under stress and strain and try to attain minimum potential

Unit: The unit of potential difference is volt.
