Electrons are negatively charged particles. When a voltage difference exists, electrons are repelled from the more negative (or less positive) voltage toward the more positive voltage. If they are in a material which allows conduction of electricity, then the electrons will flow toward the more positive voltage.

Voltage is just the name. Electric potential is a synonym. These are just customary terms, without any deeper reference.AnswerNo, voltage is synonymous with 'potential difference', not potential.
The electric field formula and voltage in an electric circuit are related because voltage is a measure of the electric potential difference between two points in a circuit, and the electric field is the force that causes charges to move between those points. In simple terms, the electric field creates the voltage that drives the flow of electric current in a circuit.
Electrons naturally tend to flow from a point that has a more negative potential, to one that is more positive. Inside the battery, of course, it is the other way round; they flow from positive to negative - the battery provides the required energy. In this case, the battery can be considered an electron pump.
Voltage is commonly referred to as electric potential difference, electromotive force (EMF), and potential difference. These terms describe the energy per unit charge available to drive electric current through a circuit. While "voltage" is the most widely used term, the others may be encountered in specific contexts, such as in physics or electrical engineering.
Voltage is the measure of the electric potential difference between two points in an electrical circuit, typically measured in volts. Electric potential, on the other hand, refers to the electric potential energy per unit charge at a specific point in the circuit. In simpler terms, voltage is the potential difference between two points, while electric potential is the potential energy at a single point. In an electrical circuit, voltage is used to describe the potential energy difference that drives the flow of electric current from one point to another.
Voltage is responsible to flow the current in a circuit. Voltage is also known as potential difference or electric pressure. When there is a potential difference across a conductive circuit current starts flow from the higher potential to lower potential.
When unlike charges are moved farther apart, they gain electrical potential energy. Electrical potential difference is the change in potential energy per coulomb of charge. Voltage is the common name for electrical potential difference and is measured in volts (V). Electrical energy depends on the amount of charge and voltage. Electrochemical cells, or batteries, are a common source of voltage. We use voltmeters to measure potential difference. :)
Potential Difference.
Voltage: This measures the electric potential energy between two points in a circuit. Electromotive force (EMF): It represents the push that drives the electric current in a circuit. Potential difference: This is the difference in electric potential between two points in a circuit, causing the flow of current.
