When unlike charges are moved farther apart, they gain electrical potential energy. Electrical potential difference is the change in potential energy per coulomb of charge. Voltage is the common name for electrical potential difference and is measured in volts (V). Electrical energy depends on the amount of charge and voltage. Electrochemical cells, or batteries, are a common source of voltage. We use voltmeters to measure potential difference. :)

What is the voltage at the location of a 0.0001-Coulomb charge that has an electric potential energy of 0.5 joules?
Electric Potential = Electrical Potential Energy/ Charge The measurement for electric potential is call the volt. Electrical Potential is often called voltage. Voltage or Electrical Potential = 0.5 Joules / .0001 Coloumb = 5000
What is the amount of energy in an electric charge?
zero. Energy is the product of charge and voltage, E=ev. No voltage means no energy in charge.
What is the voltage at the location of a Coulomb charge that has an electric potential?
A positive test charge of 1.6 x 10-11 C is placed in an electric field The force acting on it is 3.2 x 10-4 N What is the magnitude of the electric field intensity at the point where the charge is placed
Which term describes the energy per unit charge in a circuit?
The SI unit of electric charge is called the coulomb. It is a derived unit, and is defined as the amount of charge moved by a steady state current of one ampere for one second. Alternatively, it is defined as the amount of charge across a capacitance of one farad charged to a potential of one volt. In terms of elementary charge, from nuclear physics, it is defined as the charge represented by about 6.24150965 x 1018 protons or electrons.
What are factors that determine the size of the electric potential and electric potential energy?
Mass and Charge

What is volt of electricity?
Voltage is the measure of the electric potential difference between two points in an electric circuit. It is the amount of potential energy per unit charge available to move electrons from one point to another. Voltage is measured in units called volts, symbolized by the letter V.

Which two of these means the same thing energy wattage rate at which charge flows voltage drift speed electric potential difference?
'Voltage' and 'electric potential difference' are the same thing. None of the others is like anything else, and they don't belong.
What is the flow of electricity charge?
it is the rate at which electric charges pass though a conductor. The charged particle can be either positive or negative. In order for a charge to flow, it needs a push (a force) and it is supplied by voltage, or potential difference. The charge flows from high potential energy to low potential energy.
What is the difference in the current and voltage?
Current (amperes) is the rate of flow of electric charge, in coulombs per second. Voltage, on the other hand, is the electric potential of that charge, in joules per coulomb.Current and voltage are related to resistance by Ohm's Law, which states that voltage is equal to current times resistance.There is a tendency to misuse the term "current", and to apply it, for instance as "an electric current of 120 volts". This usage is incorrect. Current is current, and voltage is voltage, as noted above.
What condition will result in the flow of electric charge?
By the application of a voltage source electric charge will flow.
What are factors that determine the size of the electric potential and electric potential energy?
Mass and Charge
What is single electrode potential?
An electrode potential is the potential difference that develops when an electrode of one element is placed in a solution containing its ions. In a galvanic cell, electricity is produced by the electrode potential of the two metal electrodes and their corresponding electrolytes.
What makes an electric charge flow?
Electrical charge is a basic property of some particles. According to Coulomb's Law there is a force between charges. This force is associated with potential energy contained in an electric field. This electrical potential is called voltage. When voltage is present, electrically charged particles move (unless prevented from doing so) due to the forces they "feel." The flow of charge is known as electrical current.
