Best Answer

by creating two regions one region with more number of electrons than the other we can obtain potential difference between the two regions.

How can you get the largest voltage difference?

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 the difference between electrical potential and electromotive force?

electric potential is potential difference between two points in closed circuit. but electromotive force is potential difference in any open circuit.


What is the potential difference measured in volts?

'Force' isn't measured in volts. Potential and potential difference are measured in volts.


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.


What can be converted to energy?

Anything with potential difference could create the flow of energy. A potential difference could be electropotential, chemical potential or potential difference between high and low ground like energy from water fall. A potential difference can exist in the form of motion difference between a stationary and a moving objects.


What is the unit of potential difference?

The unit for electric potential difference is the volt (V).


What is used to measure potential difference?

A Volt meter is used to measure potential difference (a.k.a. voltage). Potential difference is measured in units called: Volts (V).


What are the differences between voltage and potential difference?

Voltage is the potential difference to the ground. By convention, ground potential is zero volt.The above answer is incorrect. 'Voltage', by definition, is potential difference. It has nothing to do with being measured with respect to ground -in fact potential difference (voltage) cannot be measured with respect to anything.


Are potential difference and voltage always the same?

Voltage is simply another word for potential difference.
