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.

Can protons move away from an atom?

No they cannot its impossible


Why do electrons move more easily than protons?

Because they are farther away from the nucleus than protons, and they have more freedom as in where to move, because they fly around the nucleus in no particular order.


Do the winds move toward a high-pressure area or away from it?

Away. The high pressure pushes the winds away outwards.

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 direction does weather move near a high- pressure area?

Away from it.


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.


Does voltage move?

No, it does not.


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

Yes they do


Can protons move from atom to atom?

It is possible only via nuclear reaction and generally requires extreme conditions such as high temperature
