Define voltage in terms of electric potential energy and charge?
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
How can electric potential be high when electrical potential energy is realitively low?
Electric potential can be high when electrical potential energy is relatively low if the charge is low as well. ... It is correct to say that an object with twice the electric potential of another has twice the electrical potential energy only if the charges are the same.
Electrical potential energy?
Electrical potential energy is the energy associated with the magnitudes of the charges on electrically charged particles and the positions of the particles relative to one another. The closer two particles with the same charge are, the greater the potential energy. Therefore, the particles have the greatest electrical potential energy at position 1. Electrical potential energy is similar to gravitational potential energy. Both energies exist because the relative positions of two objects give the objects the ability to do work.

How many kinds of electric charge are there?
There are two. Positive + and Negative - Positive is carried by the proton and negative is carried by the electron. What is usually talked about when people talk about charge is electrical potential. At zero potential there are equal number of electrons and protons. But in the real world that seldom happens so electrical potential is correct the potential difference between the state of two objects. In other words which one has the most or least electrons compared to its number of protons. Since this is hard to count we are lucky that the excess one of the other creates an electrical field and we can measure the strength of the field as a measure of the charge. The most common device to do this is a voltmeter which measures the electrical potential difference between to conductors such as the ends of a battery. There are other devices to measure the magnitude of static electrical fields.
When the electrical potential in a cell is in action versus a resting state the electrical charge reversal?

How many volts are produced in one cup of water?
essentialy zero. Voltage is the measure of difference of potential. unless something is done to charge the water its going to have the same electrical potential as everything around it.
What is a capacitance?
capacitanceis the ability of a body to store charge in anelectric field. Capacitance is also a measure of the amount of electric potential energy stored (or separated) for a given electric potential.AnswerA capacitor is a device that will store electrical energy. This energy is stored in its electric field. This is achieved by separating the charge on its plates -contrary to popular belief, it does not store that charge, as the net charge remains the same after charging as it was before charging.
Explain how potential difference in a battery is similar to a staircase?
The potential difference in a battery is like the height of the stairs. The amount of charge separated in a battery is like the mass moved up the stairs. The potential energy in the battery is due to both the potential difference (volts) and the amount of charge that has been separated (coulombs).
What is a membrane potential?
a voltage or electrical charge across the plasma membrane
Which is the correct term for the movement of an electrical charge across a membrane?
Potential difference.
How can electric potential be high when electrical potential energy is realitively low?
Electric potential can be high when electrical potential energy is relatively low if the charge is low as well. ... It is correct to say that an object with twice the electric potential of another has twice the electrical potential energy only if the charges are the same.
What is the formula for potential energy in an electrical system?
In an electric circuit, potential energy is usually understood as "stored charge." This is what capacitors do.
A coulomb is a measure of whereas an ampere is measure of?
Coulomb is a measure of electric charge:One coulomb is the amount of electric charge transported in one second by a steady current of one ampere.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb
