In the case of potential energy, what matters is the difference in potential energy. Any "absolute potential energy" is an arbitrary definition. If you define a certain reference height as "zero height" and therefore "zero potential energy", anything above that would have a positive potential energy (as compared to the reference height), anything lower would have a negative potential energy. In Astronomy, for conveniencen, two objects at an infinite distance are often defined as having zero potential energy - thus, by definition, anything closer by would have a negative potential energy.

∙ 13y agoPotential energy is a type of stored energy, which can be converted into other types of energy. Imagine, as an analogy, having 1000 dollar in your bank. You don't have it in form of cash (coins or banknotes) at that moment, but you have the "potential" (the possibility) of converting it into cash at any moment. Hence, you can rightfully say "I have a thousand dollars".

What will be the total energy of atom having negative nucleus and positive electron?
This would be, by definition, antimatter. It would equal the total energy output of regular matter.
How can you tell if an electronic is an energy saver?
you can tell if an electronic is an energy saver by looking for the energy star.
Does energy flow through the negative or positive of a battery?
Negative side
Why negative ions is called anions?
This is because, they accept electrons into their electronic configuration
When atoms form bonds and fill their outermost energy levels they have an electronic arrangement similar to what?
Their electronic configuration is similar to that of noble gases.
Why is electronic energy negative?
The charge on an electron is negative (by International Convention) - so electron energy is too
How can you convert electronic energy to electrical energy?
If, by electronic energy, you mean electrons then you don't convert it- that's what it is. Electricity is the flow of electrons from a negative terminal to a positive. In a wire it is delocalised electrons which are free to move
What is acidic electro power?
The positively charged fruit attracts the negative energy from acidic fruits. Building up a negative charge that can be repelled in the form of electronic energy.
What happens when a chlorine atom gains an electronic In its outer energy shell?
It becomes a negative ion.
Is there any equipment to convert electronic to electrical energy?
There is no such thing as "electronic energy". Electronic devices use normal electrical energy.

you can tell if an electronic is an energy saver by looking for the energy star.
Does fruits have acidic electro power?
Yes, fruits do have acidic electro power just like lemons and oranges. Acidic electro power is the positivly charged fruit attracts the negative energy from acid fruits.Building up a negative charge that can be repelled in the form of electronic energy.
What kind of electronic charge does an atom have?
negative
The negative ion F has the same electronic configuration as the positive ion?
The negative ion F has the same electronic configuration as the positive ion Li?
What is negative energy in physics?
what I mean is, the alcubierre drive needs negative energy to work so what are the properties of negative energy
Can binding energy be negative?
yes binding energy always negative
