potential difference is created by separation of positive and negative charges. this separation is created by cathode and anode. i.e., positive charges attracted by cathode and negative charge attracted by anode so there by creating a potential difference.

It is the difference in electric potential between two points, especially two points in an electric circuit. It can be between any points and not necessarily to be between positive pole and negative pole. For example PD can be there between two points in a circuit for which first point has 4.5V...

Potential difference (V) -- is measured in volts (V). Potential difference is the work done per unit charge. A potential difference of 1 V means that 1 joule of work is done per coulomb of charge.

To displace the charge in the electric field against its direction force is to be applied, i.e. work is done. This work done is stored in the form of potential energy. The workdone and potential energy are different for the different magnitude of charge, But This work done to transfer unit charge( magnitude...
