surprise, surprise ! We use the same name for different things, and even worse we use couple of different names to express the same thing, like: The variable we use for potential, potential difference, and the unit for potential difference is V. Cute!!!!! Don't let that confuse you when you see V = 1.5V Electric potential energy is not the same as electrical potential. The electron volt is not a smaller unit of the volt, it's a smaller unit of the Joule. Electrical potential can also be described by the terms, potential difference, voltage, potential drop, potential rise, electromotive force, and EMF. These terms may differ slightly in meaning depending on the situation.
