There is no such thing as a 'voltage difference'! 'Voltage' means 'potential difference', so what you appear to be asking is "How do you get the largest potential difference difference?'!

Potential difference is caused by the separation of charges between two points. The greater the amount of charge separation, the greater the potential difference.

What is a common source for a voltage difference?

Batteries provide a voltage difference.


What is difference between retarding voltage and a voltage?

A retarding voltage is what causes the electronic to shut down.


What is the potential voltage?

Unless you are using 'potential' in the general sense (i.e. "What is the possible voltage?"), there is no such engineering term as 'potential voltage'. Voltage is a synonym for 'potential difference', so your expression would then mean "What is the potential potential difference?"Do not mix up 'potential' with 'potential difference' (voltage); they are two different things.


Have a voltage difference across the two holes of an electrical outlet and a generator at a power plant provides this voltage difference?

First of all, let's get the terminology correct -there is no such thing as a 'voltage difference'. 'Voltage' is another word for 'potential difference', so 'voltage difference' would mean 'potential difference difference', which doesn't make any sense! So you should be referring to the voltage across the holes of an outlet, not the 'voltage difference' across those holes.The voltage produced by a generator in the power station produces a much greater voltage (up to 30 000 volts) than the voltage that appears across your outlet (120 V in North America or 230 V in Europe). Furthermore the generator's voltage gets increased even higher (hundreds of thousands of volts) before the electricity transmission can take place. Eventually, those high voltages are reduced, using transformers, until it reaches your outlet.

In a series circuit why does the largest voltage drop occur across the largest or smallest resistor?

It doesn't. In a series circuit, the largest voltage drop occurs across the largest resistor; the smallest voltage drop occurs across the smallest resistor.

What is the purpose of voltage difference?

'Voltage' is simply another word for 'potential difference' so, clearly, there is no such thing as a 'voltage difference' because it would mean 'potential difference difference' which doesn't make any sense! So, if your question really means, 'What is the purpose of a voltage?', then the answer is that a voltage is necessary to drive current through a circuit.


What is the difference between a voltage converter and a voltage regulator?
