It is what it sounds like! Potential difference (voltage) is the difference in potential between two points.

Explanation:

The unit we use for potential difference is called a Volt. This SI unit (represented as V) represents the difference of potential that would drive one ampere (unit of electrical current) of current against one ohm (unit of electrical resistance).

Potential difference is commonly called voltage. These voltages can be connected to create a "total voltage." This method is utilized to find different variations among live, electrical circuits.

As energy goes from Point A to Point B, it loses energy during its transfer as represented by:

#V_"AB"=V_B-V_A=∑ε-∑i.R#
