Key Stage 3
Meaning
Voltage is the strength of an electrostatic field.
About Voltage
- Voltage is often misused to refer to Potential Difference.
- There can be no current between two points with the same voltage. They must have a different voltage for there to be a potential difference and therefore a current.
Key Stage 4
Meaning
Electrical Potential is the strength of an electrostatic field.
About Electrical Potential
- Electrical potential is also known as voltage.
- Electrical potential is related to potential difference. When there is a difference in the electrical potential between two points then a charge will flow through a conductor.
