[edit] Potential Difference

Potential difference is defined as the work that must be performed to move a charge from one point to another. For example there must be a potential difference in a current for a charge to move between two points. It is also described as the potential energy difference per unit charge or voltage. The unit of potential difference is the Volt (V).
