What is the difference between terminal and electric potential boundary condition for piezoelectric material?

I am applying "electric potential" boundry condition at top surface and specifying the bottom surface as ground. But for applying terminal boundary condition at top surface I am facing problem as it shows only to select domain instead of boundary. Please suggest 1) How to select only any surface for terminal boundary condition 2) What is the difference between these two

That doesn't sound right. I suggest you post your model.

The terminal boundary condition automatically calculates current, impedance, etc.
