Electric potential difference, also known as voltage, is the difference in electric potential energy per unit charge between two points in an electric field. It is measured in volts (V).
Electric potential difference is directly proportional to electric field strength. This means that a higher electric field will result in a larger potential difference between two points.
Electric potential difference is calculated by dividing the work done by an electric force on a charge by the magnitude of the charge. This can be represented by the equation V = W/q, where V is the potential difference, W is the work done, and q is the charge.
Electric potential difference is a crucial concept in understanding the behavior of electric charges and fields. It is used to determine the direction and strength of electric currents and to calculate the amount of energy that can be transferred through an electric circuit.
Electric potential difference is what causes electrons to flow in an electric circuit. The greater the potential difference, the more energy the electrons have and the faster they will flow. This flow of electrons is what creates an electric current.
