If the angle between the displacement and force applied is less than a right angle, then it is Positive Work done. If the angle between the displacement and the force applied is greater than a right angle then it is Negative Work done. If the displacement and force are at right angles, or either is zero, then it is Zero Work done.

What is the difference between positive and negative masks?

Masks are used to clear the material of a semiconductor.

Is it possible for a solution to test positive in Benedict's test and negative in barfoed's test?

No! Its not possible for a solution to test positive for benedict`s and test negative for barfoed `s test as both detect the presence of reducing sugars and the only difference between the two tests is that further confirmation of a mono or disaccharide is done in barfoed ` s test.


How do you create a potential difference?

Potential difference arises between two conductors when there is a difference in the charge content between them. So, to create it u can take out or pump in charges, which is the job done by a battery.


Is the work done by friction always negative?

No, the work done by friction can be either positive or negative, depending on the direction of the force and the displacement of the object.


What is voltage difference?

Voltage at a point is defined as the work done by a unit positive charge carrying it from infinity to that point. while volage diffrance between two points is the work done bye unit positive charge from one point to the other point.work may be positive or negative depend upon the nature of charge that's why the potential will be negative or positive .CommentBy definition, voltage means potential difference. For this reason, you cannot have 'a voltage at a point' because potential difference, or voltage, exists between two points. You can, however, have a potential at a point.


When do you say that the work done is positive or negative?

There are different conventions as to what work is negative and what work is positive. The convention used by engineers and physicists is that work done BY the system on its surroundings is positive while work done ON the system by its surroundings is negative. Chemists reverse these conventions.
