What is potential drop?
There is no difference between potential difference and potential drop. Both terms refer to the difference in voltage (i.e. potential) across a component. Depending on how you look at it, both terms can refer to positive or negative differences, i.e. drop, for instance, can be negative, implying a rise.
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 is GWP100?
Global warming potential over 100 years. Typically compared to another value like GWP20 to show long term and short term effects on the environment.
What is normal potential and what is the difference between standard and normal potential?
Normal potential is the the potential at 273o K, standard potential is the potential at 298o K, 101325 Pa and concentrations in 1 M.
What is voltage what is another name for votage?
What is voltage what is another name for voltage? That is potential difference. In physics, the potential difference or p.d. between two points is the amount of work that would need to be done on a unit electric charge to move it from one point to the other against an electric field. P.d. is synonymous with voltage and is measured in volts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_difference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage Cheers ebs
Difference between voltage and emf?
'Voltage' is simply another term for 'potential difference', and an electromotive force is the open-circuit, or no-load, potential difference of a source such as a battery or generator.
A battery has a difference in potential energy between the positive terminal and negative terminal which units express the difference?
Volts. Volts is another term for potential.
What is another term for potential?
the term potential energy refers to the energy stored in an object.
What is voltage difference?
Voltage at a point is defined as the work done by a unit positive charge carrying it from infinity to that point. while volage diffrance between two points is the work done bye unit positive charge from one point to the other point.work may be positive or negative depend upon the nature of charge that's why the potential will be negative or positive .CommentBy definition, voltage means potential difference. For this reason, you cannot have 'a voltage at a point' because potential difference, or voltage, exists between two points. You can, however, have a potential at a point.
Are potential difference and voltage always the same?
Voltage is simply another word for potential difference.
What term describes potential difference in science?
i think its resistance
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.
Another name for potential difference?
Voltage Voltage
Another name for EMF?
"Potential difference" or "Voltage".
What is another name for electrical potential difference?
Voltage.
What is the term for the term potential difference in a charge between two points in a current path?
voltage
What potential (voltage) exists between two power supply terminals if 5 joules of energy are required to move 10 coulombs of charge between the two terminals?
Half a volt, because the energy is the charge times the potential difference.Another AnswerYou should be asking what the 'potential difference' is between the two terminals, not the 'potential'. Note that 'voltage' is another term for potential difference.
