“Potential difference between points A and B in an electric field is 1 V”. Explain the above statement.
Given that the potential difference is 1 V. The potential difference is the Difference in the potential between two points that represents the work involved or energy released in transfer of a unit quantity of electricity from one point to the other. The figure below illustrates it
VA = potential at A
VB = potential at B
From the above definition of the potential difference the above statement means that 1Joule of work is being done to move a charge of 1 coulomb from point A to point B.
