(Recall the discussion of reference potential energy in Potential Energy and Conservation of Energy.) Taking the potential energy of this state to be zero removes the term Uref from the equation (just like when we say the ground is zero potential energy in a gravitational potential energy problem), and the potential energy of Q when…

The potential difference between points A and B, VB−VA , defined to be the change in potential energy of a charge qmoved from A to B, is equal to the change in potential energy divided by the charge, Potential difference is commonly called voltage, represented by the symbol ΔV .
