Electric potential difference, also known as voltage, is the difference in electric potential energy between two points in an electric field. It is measured in volts (V) and represents the amount of work needed to move a unit of charge from one point to another.
Electric potential is a scalar quantity that represents the electric potential energy per unit of charge at a specific point in an electric field. Electric potential difference, on the other hand, is the difference in electric potential between two points. In other words, electric potential is a property of a single point, while electric potential difference is a comparison between two points.
The electric potential difference between two points is affected by the distance between the points, the amount of charge at each point, and the electric field strength. The greater the distance between the points, the smaller the electric potential difference. Similarly, the greater the charge at each point, the greater the electric potential difference. The electric field strength also plays a role, as a stronger electric field will result in a larger electric potential difference.
Electric potential difference is measured using a voltmeter, which is a device that measures the difference in electric potential between two points. The voltmeter is connected in parallel to the circuit or between two points in an electric field, and the reading on the voltmeter represents the electric potential difference between those points.
Electric potential difference is a driving force for electric current, as charges will move from an area of higher potential to an area of lower potential. This flow of charge is known as electric current. The greater the electric potential difference, the greater the electric current. However, there are other factors that also affect electric current, such as resistance and the presence of a circuit.
