Protons respond to any voltage, and moreso to high voltage. If a proton is moving away from high voltage, it must be because the high voltage source is positive. A positive will repel a positive. Certainly if the high voltage was negative, the proton would be moving toward the source. The basic laws of electrostatics apply.

Do the wind move toward the high pressure area or away from it?

Away. The high pressure pushes the winds away outwards.


Does an electron have the same speed as a proton?

Both electrons and protons can travel at different speeds. However, since a proton has about 1800 more mass than an electron, the same voltage will make an electron move faster than a proton.Both electrons and protons can travel at different speeds.

What if humans are only filled with protons?

Even a much smaller amount of only-protons would quickly blow up (move away from one another), due to their electric charge.


Why does electrons move around the nucleus and not away from atom?

Electrons are negatively charge and are attracted to the positively charged Protons in the nucleus of the atom
