Is the term potential used instead of voltage to indicate electrical pressure?

The terms potential and voltage are somewhat interchangeable when used to indicate electric pressure. The proper term is voltage, or volts, which is actually a combined term that means joules per coulomb or, in simpler terms, energy per charge.

Ohm meter mean and their use?
An ohmmeter is an electrical instrument that measures electrical resistance, but instead of hairsprings to supply a restoring force they used conducting of the first pair of leads and their contact resistances is ignored by the meter.
What is engine back pressure?
Engine back pressure is a common ailment in faulty engines. It is when the exhaust sends the power to the very back of the vehicle, instead of through its engine.
Why potentiometer method is an accurate method for measuring potential difference?
Say 'emf' instead potential difference. Because while measuring the same no current is drawn and just balancing the potential across with the potential drop on the balancing length of the potentiometer wire. While balancing the galvanometer shows null deflection. So no current flows through the galvanometer. A perfect balance with the potential difference (EMF) of a cell with potential drop across that particular length.
What factors that may indicate that the drill bit should be reconditioned?
It takes a longer time to drill a hole than it should. You see burning or smoking instead of chips.
What is water pressure tunnel?
Pressure tunnels are tunnels used to divert water from a reservoir, usually to a hydroeletric power house. They take their name due to the fact that, instead of most commons tunnels in wich the main load is geostatic (pointing inwards the tunnel), pressure tunnels are submited to high water pressures pointing outwards the tunnel.
What is the name of the electrical pressure that causes current to flow in a circuit?
Electrical pressure is called "electro-motive force" (EMF). It is measured in volts. Pressure and the quantity of electricity transmitted can be considered analogous to pressure and quantity of water flowing in pipes: the longer the distance, the higher is the pressure (called the "voltage" for electricity) that is necessary to pump the flow of water (called the "flow of electrical charge, which is also known as the "electric current"). That is why, for long distance transmission, high pressure (voltage for electricity) is required, failing which, the current - and therefore the power - will not reach the intended destination. Instead, it will be lost (also called "dissipate") along the way. We can think of electrical current as the quantity of electricity which will be drawn from the pipeline (= cables for electricity) at the pressure (= voltage) required.

How do you be electrical technician in Canada?
Basically, the same way you be an electrical technician in the US, except you watch Hockey instead of Football.
Can you use regular electrical wire instead of speaker wire?
Yes.
Is instead a preposition?
"Instead" is an adverb, not a preposition. It is used to indicate a preference for one thing over another or to show an alternative choice or action.
Ware is the low pressure switch?
This vehicle does not have a low pressure switch. It has a pressure transducer instead. The pressure transducer is located on the refrigerant line next to the alternator pulley.
Why do we write as pH instead of Ph?
The letters stand for "potential Hydrogen". The word "potential" isn't capitalized normally, but "Hydrogen", being the name of an element, is.

Is it ever okay for your references to contact a potential employer instead of them contacting your references?
If your reference has a prior relationship with the potential employer then the contact would make sense. If not, no.
What is the definition of engineering physics?
The definition of engineering physics is an introductory college course in physics for potential engineering majors. This differs from regular physics in the inclusion of calculus in the curriculum instead of just algebra.

Which is an example of a malapropism?
"Texas has a lot of electrical votes" is an example of a malapropism. The correct term should be "electoral votes" instead of "electrical votes."
