Noun. 1. potential difference-the difference in electrical charge between two points in a circuit expressed in volts. electric potential, potential drop, voltage, potential. electrical phenomenon-a physical phenomenon involving electricity.
In this case, the anode has a higher potential energy; electrons therefore move from anode to cathode. The potential difference between the two electrodes is measured in units of volts. One volt (V) is the potential difference necessary to generate a charge of 1 coulomb (C) from 1 joule (J) of energy.
