Electricity Report

Electric potential is the amount of work required to move a positive charge from infinity to a specific point, while electric potential difference refers to the change in electric potential when work is done on a charge. In a circuit, electric potential energy and electric potential difference change at different locations, with cells supplying the energy to pump charges from their negative to positive terminals and maintain the potential difference across the external circuit.

ELECTRIC POTENTIAL

• the amount of work to be done to moved a unit


positive electric charge from infinity to the
point.
ELECTRIC POTENTIAL IN CIRCUIT
• This image shows how the Electric Potential
Energy moved in a circuit.
ELECTRIC POTENTIAL
DIFFERENCE
• the difference in electric potential (V) between
the final and the initial location when work is
done upon a charge to change its potential
energy
ELECTRIC POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE
IN A CIRCUIT
• This image shows the electric potential difference
between various locations in an electric circuit . 
ROLE OF THE CELL:

Supply the energy


• Pumps the charge
from – to + terminal
• Maintains ∆V
across the external
circuit
