1) Voltage is ALWAYS a comparison, thus it requires two reference points.
2) Its the density of the charge that counts, thus a gigantic charge over a very large area would result in a low voltage.

When are proton counts and electrons counts not equal?
Ions have an imbalance of charge, with either an excess or shortage of electrons.
How is the charge on an individual atom represented?
The charge of an atom as a whole is zero. We can give the charge of a nucleus. If any electron, negatively charged one, go out of atom then the atom gets positive charge and it is named as positive ion. Same way if excess electrons get cling with the neutral atom then the atom becomes a negative ion.
Who named the two types of charges?
There are two types of electrical charges. Positive and negative. These are decided by the natural balance of the atoms they involve, with protons being positive, and electrons being negative. So a negative charge would be an excess of electrons, and a positive charge would be a deficiencies of electrons. This un-conventional theory.In electronics, they say a positive charge is an excess of electrons; and a negative charge is a deficiencies.I took this definition from Wikipedia.Formal definitionMore abstractly, a charge is any generator of a continuous symmetry of the physical system under study. When a physical system has a symmetry of some sort, Noether's theoremimplies the existence of a conserved current. The thing that "flows" in the current is the "charge", the charge is the generator of the (local) symmetry group. This charge is sometimes called the Noether charge.Thus, for example, the electric charge is the generator of the U(1) symmetry of electromagnetism. The conserved current is the electric current.In the case of local, dynamical symmetries, associated with every charge is a gauge field; when quantized, the gauge field becomes a gauge boson. The charges of the theory "radiate" the gauge field. Thus, for example, the gauge field of electromagnetism is the electromagnetic field; and the gauge boson is the photon.Sometimes, the word "charge" is used as a synonym for "generator" in referring to the generator of the symmetry. More precisely, when the symmetry group is a Lie group, then the charges are understood to correspond to the root system of the Lie group; the discretenessof the root system accounting for the quantization of the charge.So what it's saying is, any system that has the ability, or symmetry, that separates some things from their nature state, and keep them there; is a charge. So there can be many different charges. But in electricity, only two,
How does current electricity differ from static electricity?
Static electricity is the BUILT UP STORE of electron charges [e-] between a pair of objects, while current electricity is the FLOW of electrons between these objects. Static electricity is a transfer of charge from one static body to another, resulting in an imbalance in positive and negative charges, while electric current is the flow of electrons, from one static body to another.
What happens when a hard rubber ball is rubbed by wool?
Rubbing wool on the ball transfers electrons (negatively charged) from the wool to the ball. The excess charge builds up and produces static electricity.
What is true about current it is related to voltage and resistance by ohms law it is the flow of electric charges it is the excess accumulation of electric charge?
Electromotive force, or voltage, is measured in volts. It makes current flow in electric circuits. It is related to current and resistance by Ohm's law. And I don't know what you mean by "excess accumulation of electric charge"... Voltage is energy per charge, or joules per coulomb. That energy overcomes resistance in ohms and forces a current in coulombs per second (amperes) to flow. This is ohm's law; that one volt is one ampere divided by one ohm. Voltage is measured as a potential difference between two points, whereas current is a charge passing a single point. In moving from one level of energy to another, that charge does work. The watt is one joule per second, and is also volts times amperes. Have I clarified it enough, or do you need more information?
What is an excess of an electric charge on an object?
Static Charge
What is the rapid movements of excess charge?
Electric Discharge
Does the human body has excess electric charge?
yes and no lmfao
What is the rapid movement of excess charge known as?
electric discharge
Compare and contrast The Electric Field Around The Negative Charge And The Electric Field Around A Positive Charge?
A negative charge is caused by a excess of electrons and a positive charge by their lack.
What is a build up of electric charge?
That means that there is an excess of either positive or negative electric charge.
If the electric field due to the excess charge on the Earth points downward what type of charge does the Earth carry?
negative
WHAT IS An excessive amount of electrons at one end of a conductor and deficiency at the other?
Voltage <><><><><> Actually, an excess or deficit of electrons is called a charge. It is measured in coulombs. Voltage is joules per coulomb, meaning that voltage is energy per charge.
What is the accumulation of excess fluid in a tissue?
edema
Earth's surface has an excess amount of negative charge?
Yes the Earth has a vertical electric field that points down. So if you were to try and calculate the amount of excess charge on the Earth's surface, you would get a negative value.
What is the principle reservoir for excess electric charge?
In common practice, the principle reservoir for electric charge is a battery. Fuel cells, which are like batteries except with external reactant sources, are becoming more widely used as electric reservoirs. In pure circuit design, the capacitor is used as the charge reservoir.
