Nature always takes the easiest route: going up takes more work than going down. Energy goes from the high position to the low position.

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 relations between electrical field and electrical potential?
The electrical field E = - dV/dr, the derivative of the electrical potential, V.
Will there be a current between the two points if the electrical potential energy at one point in a circuit is greater than the electrical potential energy at another point?
Yes.
What is the difference between electrical potential and electromotive force?
electric potential is potential difference between two points in closed circuit. but electromotive force is potential difference in any open circuit.

What is the meaning of voltmeter?
An instrument for measuring in volts the differences of potential between different points of an electrical circuit.
What is the difference in electrical potential energy between two places in an electrical field?
voltage
What is the potential energy stored in chemical compounds?
A potential energy is energy related to some (conservative) force. In this case, it is the electrical attraction between the atoms.A potential energy is energy related to some (conservative) force.

An electrical impulse moving down an axon is called?
This is called action potential. Action potential is the change in electrical potential that occurs between the inside and outside of a nerve or muscle fiber when it is stimulated, serving to transmit nerve signals.

Yes.
What is the difference between electrical potential and electromotive force?
electric potential is potential difference between two points in closed circuit. but electromotive force is potential difference in any open circuit.
Uses of voltmeter?
A voltmeter is used to measure the difference in electric potential ("voltage") between two points, usually but not necessarily in an electrical circuit..
When potential energy turns into electrical energy which form of energy does potential first become?
Potential energy becomes static energy in the form of a difference of potential energy between two bodies, or clouds of charged particles. For instance the motion of any object against another object causes particles to become statically charged. That is potential and electrical. Once an electrical path is found between those fields the electrical force becomes similar to kinetic force and this is current.
Why do you have voltage on open circuit?
Voltage is simply electrical potential. You do not have to have current to have voltage, but you have to have both voltage and current in order to have power transfer.Voltage = joules per coulombCurrent = coulombs per secondWatts = Voltage times current = joules per secondAnswer'Voltage' is a synonym for 'potential difference', not potential. A potential difference exists between two points which are at different potentials due to an imbalance of their electrical charges.
What is used to measure the difference in electrical potential between two points in a circuit.?
voltmeter
