You are referrring to the line cord I presume: The cord that connects the telephone set to the jack. A two-wire cord will work for a single-line telephone set. A four-wire cord will support a two-line telephone. If you use a two-wire cord on a two-line telephone set, line two will be dead on the set. A four-wire cord will , of course, work just fine for a single-line set. When you look at the plugs on the ends of the four-wire cord, you will see four small contacts: The middle two are for "line one" and the outer two are for "line two". Sometimes there may me a six-position/contact plug on the ends, with the two outer-most positions not having any wiring connected to them. Line cords also come in 6- and 8- wire configurations for other various types of multi-line analog and digital telephone sets.

How much is the potential difference between the terminals of a connection wire?

The potential difference between the terminals of a connection wire is determined by the voltage difference applied across the wire. This voltage difference creates an electric field within the wire that causes charge carriers to move and establish a potential difference between the terminals.
