What is a difference in electric charge called?

The chemical gradient refers to the imbalance of substances across the membrane. The Electrical Gradient refers to the difference of charges between substances on different sides of the Membrane. The Electrochemical Gradient refers to the combination of the previous two gradients. The short answer is MEMBRANE POTENTIAL.
