It is a battery.
That's a difference in electrical potential, not potential energy.It's described in units of "volts".
Look for a + by the positive terminal and a - by the negative terminal, or red for positive, black for negative. Some batteries have the positive terminal protruding and the negative terminal flat. Or you can get a meter that will tell you which is which,
No, because if the positive was 8, and the negative was -4, the difference would be positive four.
no
one is positive, the other is negative
They are the negative and positive terminals. Higher potential andl ower potential terminals
anode positive potential cathode negative potential
dry cell
A:The difference is potential a anode requires a positive potential and the cathode requires a negative potential ANSWER : I wander what a zener will behave with this explanation. Both have cathode and anode terminals
It is the potential difference between the positive and negative terminals of the battery. The unit of electrical potential is the volt, so the difference in potential between two ponts is also a quantity with units of volts, colloquially called the 'voltage' between the points.
Positive + Negative -
When the terminals are connected in the circuit
Voltage.
Negative and positive terminals are reversed.
You should be asking, 'What is the potential reading of a positive wire....?', as 'voltage' means 'potential difference' and you can't have a potential difference on a wire! The positive wire has a potential difference of +110 V with respect to the negative wire.
A positive DC voltage is an electric potential where excess electrons will flow from negative to positive.AnswerYou appear to be mixing up potential difference (i.e. voltage) with potential. There is no such thing as a 'positive' voltage if you mean 'positive' in the sense of charge! 'Voltage' means 'potential difference', and you cannot have a positive or negative potential difference in this sense. You can only apply positive and negative in this sense to potentials.However, if you mean 'positive' in the sense of direction, then a positive voltage is one that is acting in the opposite direction to a negative voltage within the same circuit. For example, where two batteries have been connected in opposition.
