    Potential difference, also called voltage, is defined as the work done per unit charge to move a charge between two points in an electric field. It is calculated by dividing the work done by the charge, with units of volts. A voltmeter connected in parallel can measure potential difference between two points, where 1 volt represents the potential needed to do 1 joule of work to move 1 coulomb of charge between the points.

    Potential Difference

    Definition
    Potential difference, V is defined as work done in moving a unit charge
    from point A to B in electric field.

    Formula

    work done
    Potential Difference =
    ch arg e

    Units used id voltage.


    Measuring tool is voltmeter (voltmeter must in parallel order).

    Meant 1 volt:
    The potential difference between two points is 1 volt if 1 joule of work is
    required to move a charge of 1 coulomb from one point to the others.
