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.

Is a waterfall an example of mechanical energy?
From my understanding, yes. A waterfall is an example of potential gravitational energy and kinetic energy. The water is moving downstream at a fast pace (kinetic energy) and when reaching the drop off the water gains potential gravitational energy and drops towards the ground. Mechanical energy is a mix between Kinetic energy and any type of potential energy so yes, a waterfall is an example of Mechanical Energy.
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 are the two types of potential energy?
There is chemical potential energy, heat potential energy, elastic potential, and gravitational potential energy.
What is potential customer?
potential customer is future customer
Are there examples of potential energy?
Gravitational Potential Energy, Elastic Potential Energy, Chemical Potential Energy, Electrical Potential Energy, Nuclear Potential Energy. If you want more info, check out this wikipedia page that I linked.
What has kinetic and potential energy?
A roller coaster is a good example for a place to find both kinetic and potential energy. Before a drop, it has potential energy. At the end of a drop, it has kinetic energy. Half way through the drop, it has kinetic and potential energy at the same time.
Before you drop something what kind of energy does it have?
potential. And then when you drop it, it becomes kinetic.
Is there a limit on how much drop potential you can have on runescape?
No.
Do cell phones have potential energy?
Yes. If you drop them, the potential energy will convert to kinetic energy.
Where would the most potential energy be for the rollar coster?
at the top right before the big drop it has the potential to do down
What is the potential energy of an object if its mass is 1500 g and the height of its drop is 99 cm?
The object's potential energy is 14.55 joules.
What is the potential difference between 2 points in a circuit called?
Voltage drop
When is a roller coater traveling the fastest?
At the bottom of a drop, when Potential Energy equals zero.
Remember when encountering potential explosive hazards is?
" If you didn't drop it, don't pick it up."
Why potentiometer method is an accurate method for measuring potential difference?
Say 'emf' instead potential difference. Because while measuring the same no current is drawn and just balancing the potential across with the potential drop on the balancing length of the potentiometer wire. While balancing the galvanometer shows null deflection. So no current flows through the galvanometer. A perfect balance with the potential difference (EMF) of a cell with potential drop across that particular length.
Contact potential cannot be measured?
A: SURE it can while open it will measure the potential when closed it will measure the small voltage drop due to the resistance if any.
What is the key safety message to remember when encountering potential explosive hazards?
if you didn't drop it, don't pick it upif you didnt drop it, dont pick it up
