Capacitance.
Metal atoms have a few lightly-bound electrons in their outer shells, and these electrons can be easily moved by a modest electrical potential. This makes them good conductors.

The only designated colors in electrical wiring in North America are White as a neutral and Green as a ground wire. All other colors can be used as live wires. There are specific colors designated by the electrical code for phase wiring.Answer for European SystemsThe relevant regulations define all conductors, other than the protective (earth/ground) conductor, as 'live' conductors. In Europe, the line conductor has a nominal potential of 230 V with respect to the neutral conductor.In Europe, the the three line conductors of a three-phase system are identified with brown, black, and grey insulation, respectively. For single-phase systems, brown is normally used. Neutral conductors are identified using blue insulation, and protective (earth/ground) conductors are identified using green/yellow stripedinsulation.

A converter having electrically heatable strips connected in an electrical circuit, and intertwined with non-electricvally heated thin metal strips, having an electrical connection, or anchor, from the electrically heatable thin metal strips to the non-electrically heated thin metal strips, whereby the potential difference between the electrically heatable strips non-electrically heatable thin metal strips is reduced.
Metals are good conductors (rusted metals are not!)

compound motor action potentialThis is an electrical potential evoked by electrically stimulating a motor nerve and recording the electrical response (change in voltage) from a muscle innervated by that nerve.
An instrument for measuring in volts the differences of potential between different points of an electrical circuit.
Original Answer (Physics): Gravitational Potential Energy -------------------- Electrical Answer: If this is electrically related, perhaps you mean GFPE which means Ground Fault Protection for Equipment.
A type of "pressure" that drives electrical charges through a circuit. Voltage is how the electric potential energy differences are measured.
Even deionized water can be dangerous with electrical appliances because many such appliances contain nearby surfaces with a sufficiently high electrical potential difference between them to ionize water itself and thereby make the water electrically conducting.
ANSWERDirect current (DC) is the function of having a constantdifference in potential at opposite ends of an electrical circuit. An electrical circuit is any configuration that allows electrical current to flow across any point within the circuit.There is a phenomenon known as Galvanic Action. This occurs when a pair of conductors made from different materials makes contact. At the point of contact, the junction, there is a minuscule difference in potential between the two different materials. These potential differences are measured in micro-volts. These potential differences exist because every material, at rest, has a particular energy level unique to that material. Since there is a difference in energy level between any two materials, there exists an electrical potential difference between them as well.Only in conductors can electrical current flow freely. Electrical current flow is electron flow between atoms in a conductive material. Any material will conduct electricity given a high enough potential difference across the material. Gold, Silver, and Copper, are three examples of high conductivity materials, or good conductors. It takes a minuscule difference in potential to get electron flow within these materials. Plastic, glass, and porcelain are three examples of no conductivity materials, or good insulators. It takes an excessive difference in potential to break these materials down in order to get electron flow within these materials.Plastic is a relatively good insulator because it takes a considerable amount of potential difference (voltage) across the material to get electron flow within the material. This makes plastic a good insulator and this is why it is found in many electrical circuits. Porcelain is an insulator used in high voltage circuits. These are the long suspension devices used to hang high tension power cables you see on towers that deliver power between cities.I hope this makes some sense. This explanation could go on for a very long time.
