- The voltage of a battery.
- The potential difference of a battery.
- The potential difference of the battery when no current is flowing through it.
- The work done per unit positive charge.
- The power per unit current.
- The work done in moving a charge between two points.
- The work done in moving a +1 C charge at a constant speed along a path in an electric field.
- The integral of the electric field along the path taken.
- The line integral of the electric field component parallel to the path taken along the path taken.
- The work done in moving a +1 C charge at a constant speed around a closed path in an electric field.
- The emf of a cell is the work done per unit positive charge in going around the circuit.
