In a 1.5V battery taking the negative terminal as 0.0V what is the electrical potential energy of an electron leaving the negative battery terminal?
Somebody is trying a trick question! The electron that comes out of the negative terminal has zero potential energy. With respect to the positive terminal it has -1.5V of electrical potential energy, and so does every other electron at 0.0V whether or not they came out of the battery.
Why the current flow from higher potential to lower potential?
Current defined as Positive charge flow , flows from higher potential to the lower. Current defined as electron flow, flows from lower potential to higher. In general Potential and Current are defined by positive charge.
What are the forms of potential energy?
Positive energy
Do positive charges tend to move from points of high potential to low potential?
yes
Which way are charges likely to move between two positions of different electrical potential energy one high and one low?
Negative charges tend to move towards the side that has a positive charge, and vice versa.
What is the electrical charge of an action potential?
The electrical potential of the cell body changes during an action potential from a negative potential of around -70 mV to a positive potential of +40 mV. The resting potential, however, remains constant.
The electrical charge resulting from the difference between the positive and negative ions outside and?
The resting membrane potential
Electrical charge resulting from the difference between positive and negative ions outside and inside the brain cell membrane is called?
Membrane potential
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.
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 are electrical volts?
Volts are a unit of measurement determined by the "electrical pressure" in a circuit, or the potential difference between two charged bodies, say the positive and negative sides of a battery.
What is a voltage of a battery?
It is the potential difference between the positive and negative terminals of the battery. The unit of electrical potential is the volt, so the difference in potential between two ponts is also a quantity with units of volts, colloquially called the 'voltage' between the points.

What is proton electric charge?
A proton has a positive electrical charge and an electron has a negative electrical charge.
What has positive electrical charge?
A proton has a positive electric charge.
What is the voltage reading of positive wire in 110V dc?
You should be asking, 'What is the potential reading of a positive wire....?', as 'voltage' means 'potential difference' and you can't have a potential difference on a wire! The positive wire has a potential difference of +110 V with respect to the negative wire.
What electrical charge do protons neutrons and electrons have?
Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have negative charge.Neutrons do not carry an electrical charge:)A proton has a positive charge. Remember, NEUTRon = NEUTRal. Proton = Positive. The electrical charge of a proton is 1.6x10^-19 which is equal and opposite to the electrical charge of an electron which is -1.6x10^-19.
