Hi PF,
What is the conceptual difference between potential barrier and potential difference? both have an electric field associated with it. so is potential barrier a sort of potential difference itself and will it cause current flow in a closed circuit like diode shorted. Also why cannot we measure potential barrier using voltmeter (even if it is ideal).
