  1. Potential Difference Potential Difference: (Voltage) the difference in electric potential energy at two different points in the circuit -measured in Volts (V) LG: to understand the basics of potential difference

  2. Potential Difference Waterfall Analogy LG: to understand the basics of potential difference

  3. Potential Difference Waterfall Analogy -at the top water has high potential energy -at the bottom water has low potential energy -the energy turns the waterwheel LG: to understand the basics of potential difference

  4. Potential Difference Waterfall Analogy -at the top water has high potential energy -at the bottom water has low potential energy -the energy turns the waterwheel Potential Difference -before entering a load, electron has high potential energy -after leaving a load, electron has low potential energy -the energy is turned into another form LG: to understand the basics of potential difference

  5. Potential Difference Voltmeter: compares potential energy before and after a load (or source) -has to be placed in parallel with the load LG: to understand the basics of potential difference

  6. Potential Difference What's the potential difference in the following situations? LG: to understand the basics of potential difference

  7. Potential Difference What's the potential difference in the following situations? 1.5 V 1.5 V LG: to understand the basics of potential difference
