Electric Potential Also known as

An electric potential is also known as:

  • electric field potential
  • potential drop or potential difference
  • electrostatic potential.


In common parlance, an electric potential is referred to as voltage, from the fact that it is usually specified in volts.

Some sources also use this term, but this is deprecated on $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$.
