How to use "Potential difference" in context?
When mathematicians speak of a "potential difference," they are referring to a mathematical form of energy that can be converted into kinetic or potential energy. This potential energy can be found in both small and large objects. When a small object is lifted off the ground, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. The same is true when an object falls to the ground - its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Oppositely, when an object is placed in a position of equilibrium, its potential energy is unchanged. This potential energy can be harnessed to power motors or other devices.
