Electric Potential Difference Units. Potential difference between two points in an electric circuit is that difference in their electrical state which ends to cause flow of electric current between them. Page 569 of Teacher edition book.
We know that electric potential is electric potential energy over the charge. Potential difference between two points in an electric circuit is that difference in their electrical state which ends to cause flow of electric current between them. The unit of the electric potential difference is the same as the unit for electric potential since the units of a physical quantity do not change under the operation of addition or subtraction.

Therefore if you did 1 Joule of work in moving a charge of 1 Coulomb in an electric field the electric potential difference between those points would be 1 volt. The electric potential or voltage is the difference in potential energy per unit charge between two locations in an electric field.
