Voltage is an energy per unit charge - if it takes "x" joules to move a charge of 1 coulomb from one point to another, then there is a "voltage" of "x" volts. The energy in question, of course, is a type of potential energy. In other words, a voltage does not have the dimensions of energy, but rather, energy per unit charge.

∙ 13y agoForce is considered the change in potential energy, U, over a change in position, x. In other words it is the derivative of potential energy with respect to time.
F = dU/dx

What is the relationship between a potential energy and the height of a skater on a track?
The higher something is, the more potential energy it has stored.
What is qualitative relationship between force and potential energy?
Gradient of potential energy gives negative force at that point.
What do you notice about the relationship between potential energy and height?
The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
What is the difference in potential between two charges called?
Voltage.The correct term for the amount of energy per unit of charge is potential difference.Energy = Charge * VoltageSimple rearranging gives: Voltage = Energy / ChargeTherefore a volt can be defined as a "joule per coulomb".
What is the relationship between potential energy and thermal energy?
Hold a rock in the air ... it has potential energy. Drop it ... the potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy. It hits the ground and stop ... the kinetic energy will be converted into thermal energy. Note that the total energy in each case is the same.
How is voltage similar to gravitational potential energy?
It isn't. Voltage can be compared to the GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL, which is a concept that is related, but different from, gravitational potential energy.Voltage is the energy change PER UNIT CHARGE between two points. Gravitational potential is the energy PER UNIT MASS between two points.
What is the relationship between root mean square voltage and DC voltage?
They are equivalent in terms of energy content or work potential. In other words, 100VAC (RMS) will do the same amount of work that 100VDC will.
What is the relationship between the height of the ball and potential energy?
Direct (double the height to double the potential energy).
What is the relation between energy and charge?
The relationship between energy and charge is potential difference or voltage. Where a volt is defined as existing between two points in an electric field when one joule of energy is required to move a charge of one coulomb between the two points.
What is relationship between potential energy and kinetic energy?
Both are mechanical force.
Relationship between gravitational and potential energy?
Gravitational + Potential = 100 If you have 67 J of potential energy your gravitational energy would be 33 J.
What is the relationship between a potential energy and the height of a skater on a track?
The higher something is, the more potential energy it has stored.
What is the relationship between energy mass and height potential?

What relationship exists between height and potential energy if mass is held constant?
Potential energy is directly proportional to height.
Does the moon have gravitational potential energy?
The gravitational potential energy doesn't actually reside in a single object, but in the relationship between two objects. Thus, there is a gravitational potential energy between Earth and Moon, or between a rock that you lift up on the Moon, and the Moon.The gravitational potential energy doesn't actually reside in a single object, but in the relationship between two objects.

What is the difference in electrical potential energy between two places in an electrical field?
voltage
What is qualitative relationship between force and potential energy?
Gradient of potential energy gives negative force at that point.
