| voltage |
In the physical sciences, potential difference is the difference in potential between two points in a conservative vector field. In engineering, it is sometimes described as the across variable, where flux is the through variable. Within the context of electricity, the conservative vector field is the electrostatic field. Between any two points in the field, there is defined an electric potential difference where the unit is a volt. ...
