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.

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.


What is the potential energy voltage equation used to calculate the electrical potential energy stored in a system?

The potential energy voltage equation used to calculate the electrical potential energy stored in a system is given by the formula: Potential Energy Charge x Voltage.


How is voltage produced in electrical circuits?

Voltage is produced in electrical circuits through the movement of electrons from a higher potential to a lower potential, creating a difference in electric potential that results in the flow of electricity. This difference in potential is what we measure as voltage.

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.
