If potential difference between two points of wire is very low(as potential drop is very low due to low resistance) then how can there be flow of current in the wire?

Low potential difference, also known as low voltage, refers to a small difference in potential energy between two points in a circuit. It is typically measured in volts and represents the amount of energy that is available for the flow of electric current.
A low potential difference means that there is a small amount of energy available for the flow of electric current. This can result in a lower current flow, as there is not enough energy to push the electrons through the circuit with a strong force. As a result, the current may be weaker and the circuit may not function as effectively.
There are several factors that can lead to low potential difference in a circuit. These include high resistance in the circuit, damaged or corroded wires, and weak power sources such as low batteries or inadequate power supply.
Low potential difference can be measured using a voltmeter, which is a device that measures the potential difference between two points in a circuit. The voltmeter is connected in parallel to the circuit, and the reading on the voltmeter will give the potential difference in volts.
There are several ways to increase low potential difference in a circuit. This includes using a stronger power source, reducing the resistance in the circuit by using thicker wires or removing any damaged components, and connecting components in parallel instead of series. Additionally, using a transformer can also increase the potential difference in a circuit.
