Difference between general journal,general ledger & entries

general ledger is the record of all accounting antries.

Entries:
In accounting, there are many 'accounts' in one set of book for a company, and, we record numbers and figures in these accounts by using/posting "journal entries" in different accounts. Journal entries are using in pairs, i.e. "Debit entries" and "Credit entries". Just like the "+" and "-" in batteries. When there is one 'Debit' there must be one 'credit'. For example when recording an expenses paid by cash we make a journal entry like: Debit - rent expenses $5,000 / Credit - Cash $5,000.

General Journal : A book recording all journal entries made for general purpose.

General Ledger (G/L): All accounts recorded in a set of books. At year end, a summary of all accounts in the G/L will be posted in the "Trial Balance" for preparing Balance sheet and Profit & Loss accounts.
