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?

What are the metric units for potential energy?

The 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.


What is water potential gradient?

similar to potential energy, water flows down a gradient from higher potential to lower potential. Higher potential is generally in the soil/roots and lower potential is at the leaves/atmosphere. The water has potential to flow down the gradient


What units is potential energy measured in?

Energy is measured in joules.


What is osmosis in terms of water potential?

The net movement of water molecules from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential across a permeable membrane


Is water flowing from a waterfall before it hits the pond below kinetic or potential energy?

is water real


What is used to measure potential difference?

A Volt meter is used to measure potential difference (a.k.a. voltage). Potential difference is measured in units called: Volts (V).


Which factors affect water potential in living cells?

Some factors which influence water potential include gravity, pressure, and solute concentration. Adding solute lowers the water potential. An increase of pressure will increase the water potential.


What is the water potential of an open beaker full of pure water?

Pure Water has potential of 0.If more solute is added to it water potential falls-it becomes more negative
