The resting potential tells about what happens when a neuron is at rest. An action potential occurs when a neuron sends information down an axon, away from the cell body. Neuroscientists use other words, such as a spike or an impulse for the action potential. The action potential is an explosion of electrical activity that is created by a depolarizing current. This means that some event (a stimulus) causes the resting potential to move toward 0 mV. When the depolarization reaches about -55 mV a neuron will fire an action potential. This is the threshold.
Electric potential, also called the electric field potential, is the amount of electric potential energy that a charged particle would have at a certain point in space. The voltage, also called potential difference between two points in space is the difference of the electric potentials of those two points.
