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.
Voltage ( = Electric Potential ) An electric charge alters the space around it. Throughout the space around every charge is a vector thing called the electric field. Also filling the space around every charge is a scalar thing, called the voltage or the electric potential. Electric fields and voltages are two different ways to describe the same thing. (Note on terminology: The text book uses the term electric potential, but it is easy to confuse electric potential with potential energy, which is something different. So I will use the term voltage instead.) Voltage overview The voltage at a point in empty space is a number (not a vector) measured in units called volts (V) . Near a positive charge, the voltage is high. Far from a positive charge, the voltage is low. Voltage is a kind of electrical height. Voltage is to charge like height is to mass. It takes a lot
