Electrical potential difference
The amount of electric power that pushes electricity through a wire, measured in volts.
Модель уживання:
[voltage] of [something]
Поширена помилка:
Learners sometimes confuse 'voltage' with 'current'. Voltage is the force that pushes electricity, while current is the movement of electric charge.
Синоніми
electric potential (More formal and scientific term, used in physics contexts.)
|
potential difference (Physics term emphasizing the difference between two points.)
Антоніми
current (In electricity, current refers to the flow of charge, not the potential difference.)
