The potential difference between two points in an electric circuit is the work done when a coulomb of charge passes between the points. You can calculate the size of a potential difference using this equation: V = W ÷ Q. V is the potential difference in volts, V. W is the work done (energy transferred)...

The potential difference between two points in an electric circuit is the work done when a coulomb of charge passes between the points. You can calculate the size of a potential difference using this equation: V = W ÷ Q. V is the potential difference in volts, V. W is the work done (energy transferred) in joules, J.Voltage, electric potential difference, electric pressure or electric tension is the difference in electric potential between two points. The voltage between two points is equal to the work done per unit of charge against a static electric field to move a test charge between two points. This is measured in units of volts read less
