Potential difference (voltage)
It is a battery.
It is the potential difference between the positive and negative terminals of the battery. The unit of electrical potential is the volt, so the difference in potential between two ponts is also a quantity with units of volts, colloquially called the 'voltage' between the points.
6 volts
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.
"The potential difference between the terminals of a battery will equal the emf of the battery when there is no current in the battery. At this time, the current though, and hence the potential drop across the internal resistance is zero. This only happens when there is no load placed on the battery-that includes measuring the potential difference with a voltmeter! The terminal voltage will exceed the emf of the battery when current is driven backward through the battery, in at its positive terminal and out at its negative terminal."

One difference is the terminals (+ and -) are reversed. What I want to know is, what is the difference between 24N and 24F? They both have the same terminals, and I can't see any other difference externally.
Difference in potential between two points. Like the voltage of an energizer AA battery is 1.5 volts BETWEEN its terminals. If you place two AA batteries in a flashlight, the voltage of the series combination of AA batteries from one tip to the other is now 3 volts.
A:The difference is potential a anode requires a positive potential and the cathode requires a negative potential ANSWER : I wander what a zener will behave with this explanation. Both have cathode and anode terminals
potential difference between electrodes
dry cell
Potential difference arises between two conductors when there is a difference in the charge content between them. So, to create it u can take out or pump in charges, which is the job done by a battery.
