what is potential difference with example

Dear Student,
 

Electric potential difference between two points A and B in an electric field is defined as the amount of work done per unit charge in moving it from point A to point B against the electrostatic force due to the electric field.

or

The difference of potential(voltage) between two points is called potential(voltage) difference. If the potential difference is applied across a wire then current will flow in the wire.

Example: Battery has two terminals and its voltage is the potential difference between them.

Regards

potential differnece is change in potential which is essential for the flow of electrons....

Potential difference is the difference in the amount of energy that charge carries have between two point in a circuit a potential difference of one volt is equal to 1Joule of energy being used by 1coulomb of charge when it flow between two point in a circuit
For example. every battery has two terminals and its voltage is the potential difference between them more fundamental the point your choose to be zero volts is arbitrary

dear friend,
it can be classified as the change that has occurred in the flow of electrons.
hope this answer is helpful to you

Potential difference?is the?difference?in the amount of energy that charge carriers have between two points in a circuit. **Measured in Volts: **Potential difference?(p.d.) is measured in volts (V) and is also?called voltage. ... We use a voltmeter to measure
potential difference?(or?voltage)
