    A potential gradient is the local space rate of change of the potential.
    In electrostatics then, it is the local space rate of change of the electric potential:

    mathbf = - delta V / delta s*


    Units are volts per meter (V/m). The electric field is the same as the potential gradient but with opposite sign.

    In biology, the net difference in electric charge across a cell membrane.
