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.

Could the neutral point voltage be like phase voltage?
Yes,when the neutral potential is at ground potential i.e., 0v.
How can you get the largest voltage difference?
There is no such thing as a 'voltage difference'! 'Voltage' means 'potential difference', so what you appear to be asking is "How do you get the largest potential difference difference?'! Potential difference is caused by the separation of charges between two points. The greater the amount of charge separation, the greater the potential difference.
How did increasing the stimulus voltage in the simulation affect the action potential?
Increasing the stimulus voltage in the simulation affect action potential mainly because increasing the current will automatically increase the voltage.
Is voltage the same as potential?
volt drop and potential difference are effectively the same thing, although the term volt drop is usually used in reference of what voltage has to occur for a diode to conduct, or what volt drop is expected across a long wire etc, potential difference is used to refer to the difference in voltage over a potential divider.
What is voltage also known as?
The term, 'voltage', is synonymous with 'potential difference'.Originally, the term 'voltage' was used to describe potential difference when specifcally expressed in volts. These days, however, we use the term whatever multiples or submultiples of volts are used -so it applies to potential difference whether expressed in microvolts, millivolts, volts, kilovolts, megavolts, etc.It's very important to understand that voltage is synonymous with 'potential difference', and not'potential'. So it would be quite incorrect to describe, say, the 'voltage at a point' in a circuit (e.g. "...the voltage at point A in a circuit is +12 V").
Why is voltage considered to be the electric potential?
Voltage is just the name. Electric potential is a synonym. These are just customary terms, without any deeper reference.AnswerNo, voltage is synonymous with 'potential difference', not potential.
Are potential difference and voltage always the same?
Voltage is simply another word for potential difference.
What are the differences between voltage and potential difference?
Voltage is the potential difference to the ground. By convention, ground potential is zero volt.The above answer is incorrect. 'Voltage', by definition, is potential difference. It has nothing to do with being measured with respect to ground -in fact potential difference (voltage) cannot be measured with respect to anything.
Another term for potential difference is?
voltage
Another name for potential difference?
Voltage Voltage
What is elecrical potential?
Voltage
What is the same word as voltage?
Voltage is synonymous with potential difference.
What is the voltage at the location of a 0.0001-Coulomb charge that has an electric potential energy of 0.5 joules?
Electric Potential = Electrical Potential Energy/ Charge The measurement for electric potential is call the volt. Electrical Potential is often called voltage. Voltage or Electrical Potential = 0.5 Joules / .0001 Coloumb = 5000
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.
Which is greater the breakdown voltage or the barrier potential?
Breakdown voltage is far greater than barrier potential. silicon:- break-down voltage :- 5v - 450 v barrier potential ;- 0.5v to 0.7 V
Can an object have large voltage but a very low potential energy and why?
Yes. The potential energy in this case is the product of the voltage and the charge.
Could the neutral point voltage be like phase voltage?
Yes,when the neutral potential is at ground potential i.e., 0v.
