What is difference between potential difference and electric potential? |
|
Answer» ➩ The electric potential difference between points A and B, VB−VA, is defined to be the change in potential ENERGY of a CHARGE q moved from A to B, divided by the charge. Units of potential difference are joules PER coulomb, given the name volt (V) after Alessandro Volta. ➩ The electric potential difference between points A and B, VB−VA, is defined to be the change in potential energy of a charge q moved from A to B, divided by the charge.
