Electrical potential difference
The amount of electric power that pushes electricity through a wire, measured in volts.
תבנית שימוש:
[voltage] of [something]
טעות נפוצה:
Learners sometimes confuse 'voltage' with 'current'. Voltage is the force that pushes electricity, while current is the movement of electric charge.
