What is another word for potential drop?
Pronunciation: [pətˈɛnʃə͡l dɹˈɒp] (IPA) 
Potential drop refers to the difference in electric potential between two points in a circuit. This term can also be referred to as voltage drop or voltage difference. In some contexts, potential drop may be replaced with electrical potential, electric potential difference, or electromotive force. In physics, potential drop is sometimes substituted with the term electrical gradient or potential gradient. In engineering, it may also be referred to as resistance drop or electrical resistance. In all cases, these terms refer to the same concept of the difference in electric potential between two points in a circuit.
