What is Potential electricity |
| Answer» Electric potential, the amount of work needed to move a unit charge from a reference point to a specific point against an\xa0electric\xa0field.\xa0The\xa0potential difference\xa0(which is the same as\xa0voltage) is equal to the amount of current multiplied by the resistance. A\xa0potential difference\xa0of one Volt is equal to one Joule of energy being used by one Coulomb of charge when it flows between two points in a circuit.\xa0In any\xa0electric\xa0field there are two points of\xa0electric potential\xa0that are of significant interest to us. There\'s a point of\xa0high potential, where a positive charge would have the highest possible\xa0potential\xa0energy, and there\'s a point of low\xa0potential, where a charge would have the lowest possible\xa0potential\xa0energy. | |
