Potential difference

Used to described when work is done
by charge carriers .




When electrical
energy is converted into other forms of
the
energy by in the

Measured in volts .

connected in parallel across a
particular component .




An ideal voltmeter should have an infinite resistance so that
no current passes through it when connected .
