What are the metric units for potential energy?
The unit for energy is the joule.
What units is potential energy measured in?
Energy is measured in joules.
A battery has a difference in potential energy between the positive terminal and negative terminal which units express this difference in energy?
That's a difference in electrical potential, not potential energy.It's described in units of "volts".
What is the units for gpe?
the units for gravitational potential energy is joules (j)
The potential energy of an electric circuit is measured in units of?
volts
What does not have the same units as the others Kinetic Energy Momentum Potential Energy or Work?
momentum
Potential energy is measured in units of?
The same units can be used for any type of energy - and in modern science, the same units ARE used. For example, the SI unit for energy is the joule.
Is ionization potential and ionization energy same?
Yes. If the units are eV (electron volts) this is called ionization potential, if the units are kJ/mol then this ionization energy. The conversion between the units is:- 96.485 kJ/mol = 1 eV/particle) Historically it was always called ionization potential as that reflected the method of measurement.
How does an objects mass affect its potential enegry?
There are different sorts of potential energy but the most common in physics is gravitational potential energy. An object of mass m has a potential energy of mgh where g is gravity (9.81 in metric units) and h is the height above ground.
What unit use for work potential and kinetic?
Work uses the same unit as energy. Ideally, you would use the same units for work, potential energy, kinetic energy, or any other type of energy. In the SI, that is the joule.
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.
What are the units for gravitational potential energy?
You use the same units as for any other type of energy.You use the same units as for any other type of energy.You use the same units as for any other type of energy.You use the same units as for any other type of energy.
