    1. Potential difference, also known as voltage, is a measure of the electrical potential energy transferred from one point to another as electrons move between two points in a conductor. 2. Potential difference is calculated as V=W/Q, where V is the potential difference in volts, W is the work done in joules, and Q is the charge in coulombs. 3. The electronvolt is a unit used to express small energy values associated with microscopic particles. It is defined as the amount of energy needed to move an electron through a potential difference of one volt.

    Potential Difference
    Potential difference is of the electrical potential transferred from
    electron energy a measure an

    it points as moves between two in a conductor

    Potential difference is work done per unit charge


    It is also known as voltage
    Potential difference is calculated : V= W

    Where :

    -
    V= potential difference in volts ( v )

    The Electronvolt
    The energy values associated to electrons and other microscopic particles small when

    expressed
    are very
    in SI units
    for this reason it is often more convenient to use another unit for energy -
    the electron volt (ex)
    ,

    The electronvolt is defined as :

    The amount of
    energy needed to move an electron through a potential difference of one v0 It

    Worked Example

    One electronvolt is the work W associated to an electron of charge e moving through a potential

    Direct Current
    The potential difference in a circuit is provided by cells or batteries

    -
    each cell has a positive terminal ( high potential location) and a

    negative terminal Clow potential location)


    -
    a
    battery is a collection of cells arranged positive terminal to

    negative terminal
    .
    When a cell or a battery is conducted to a loop of copper wire ,
    a

    cuircut is formed

    -
    they the leave the battery and move through the wire

    -
    a little amount of their energy is transferred to the metal atoms of the wire
