This document introduces the concept of electric potential difference. It states that the work done to move an electric charge from infinity to another point is equal to the electric potential. An electric charge has electric potential energy due to the electric field from a power supply. As the charge flows through a load, its energy decreases. The electric potential energy for each coulomb of charge in a circuit is called the electric potential difference. The document then provides an example of how electric potential difference is calculated using the equation V=E/Q, where V is potential difference, E is energy, and Q is charge.

3. INTRODUCTION
Charge does not flow on its own, An electric charge has a
certain amount of electric potential energy because of the
electric field set up by the power supply.
Work is done by the power supply to increase the electric
potential energy of each coulomb of charge from a low to a
high value.
As the charge flows through the load, it's energy decreases.

4. The electrical potential energy for each coulomb of charge
in a circuit is called the Electric Potential Difference (V).

5. Water is exact the
same level in both
tanks, So water will
not flow
TANK A
TANK A
TANK B
TANK B
Since Tank A has
higher water level. So
water will flow from
Tank A to Tank B.

6. The positive charge will
more naturally from a
higher electric potential to a
lower electric potential (a
negative charge would
move from low to high
potential).
The electric charge on the
parallel plates creates on
electric potential
difference.
