Definitions:

Voltage Flows

Incorrect terminology; voltage does not flow, but rather it is a measure of the electrical potential difference between two points.

Neutral Conductor

A conductor that is connected to a point of zero voltage in an electrical system, providing a return path for current in circuits where a neutral point is used.

Potential

Refers to the potential energy per unit charge at a point in a field or circuit, often associated with voltage or electric potential difference.

Coulomb

The standard unit of electric charge in the International System of Units (SI), equivalent to the charge transported by a constant current of one ampere in one second.
