Electrons naturally tend to flow from a point that has a more negative potential, to one that is more positive. Inside the battery, of course, it is the other way round; they flow from positive to negative - the battery provides the required energy. In this case, the battery can be considered an electron pump.
Electrons flow in an electric circuit from an area of higher potential energy (positive terminal of the battery) to an area of lower potential energy (negative terminal of the battery). This flow of electrons is what creates an electric current in the circuit.
Electric current, in terms of the electron theory, is defined as the flow of electrons through a conductor due to the movement of negatively charged particles. It is the rate of flow of charge per unit time, typically measured in amperes. The flow of electrons creates a potential difference, causing them to move from a higher potential to a lower potential.
Voltage is the measure of the electric potential difference between two points in an electrical circuit, typically measured in volts. Electric potential, on the other hand, refers to the electric potential energy per unit charge at a specific point in the circuit. In simpler terms, voltage is the potential difference between two points, while electric potential is the potential energy at a single point. In an electrical circuit, voltage is used to describe the potential energy difference that drives the flow of electric current from one point to another.
Voltage: This measures the electric potential energy between two points in a circuit. Electromotive force (EMF): It represents the push that drives the electric current in a circuit. Potential difference: This is the difference in electric potential between two points in a circuit, causing the flow of current.
Electric potential is the amount of electric potential energy per unit charge at a specific point in an electric field. Electric potential energy, on the other hand, is the energy stored in an object due to its position in an electric field. In simpler terms, electric potential is like the "pressure" at a point in the field, while electric potential energy is the "stored energy" of an object in that field.

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.

A potential difference (volts) is set up between the two ends of a conductor. If there are any electrons available to move, then their negative electric charges persuade them to move away from the more negative potential and toward the more positive potential, resulting in current.
Electron volts (eV) and volts (V) are both units of energy measurement, but they are used to measure different types of energy. Volts measure the electrical potential difference between two points, while electron volts measure the energy of particles, such as electrons, in an electric field. In simpler terms, volts measure electrical potential, while electron volts measure the energy of particles in that potential.
Electrons are negatively charged particles. When a voltage difference exists, electrons are repelled from the more negative (or less positive) voltage toward the more positive voltage. If they are in a material which allows conduction of electricity, then the electrons will flow toward the more positive voltage.

When unlike charges are moved farther apart, they gain electrical potential energy. Electrical potential difference is the change in potential energy per coulomb of charge. Voltage is the common name for electrical potential difference and is measured in volts (V). Electrical energy depends on the amount of charge and voltage. Electrochemical cells, or batteries, are a common source of voltage. We use voltmeters to measure potential difference. :)
