Question 2

What is meant by saying that the potential difference between two points is 1 V?

Answer

Potential difference is defined as the work done to move per unit charge between the two ends of the current carrying conductor. Potential difference is designated by V.

V=W/Q

If 1 J of work is required to move a charge of amount 1 C from one point to another, then it is said that the potential difference between the two points is 1 V.
