A battery has a difference in potential energy between the positive terminal and negative terminal which units express this difference in energy?
That's a difference in electrical potential, not potential energy.It's described in units of "volts".
What is an equation for power?
Power = (energy used)/(time to use it)Power dissipated by an electrical circuit =(voltage across the circuit) x (current through the circuit)or(resistance of the circuit) x (square of the current through the circuit)or(square of the voltage across the circuit)/(resistance of the circuit)
If two potential energy were pointing in different directions will there be a current between two points?
Current will flow if there is a difference of potential energy and a path between those points.
What is the difference between power measurement and energy measurement?
Power and energy are closely related. Energy is a measure of the amount of work something has done or can do. It is measured in Joules in a laboratory, calories in certain other fields such as food and other units such as KWH for electrical supplies. As an example, a battery can provide a certain amount of energy which will be used up as the battery delivers a current to a circuit. Power is the amount of energy used or transferred in a certain amount of time so it is a measure of the rate of transfer of energy. It is measured in Watts. One Watt is equal to one Joule being used or transferred each second. Looking at the battery example once again, if the battery delivers energy at 3 joules every second, then its power output is 3W.
Explain how a simple motor functions?
it converts electrical energy into mechanical energy
What type of energy flows in a circuit?
Quite often, the word "circuit" is used for an electrical circuit. In that case, the energy is electrical energy.
What type energy flows in a circuit?
Quite often, the word "circuit" is used for an electrical circuit. In that case, the energy is electrical energy.
What is the difference in electrical potential energy between two places in a circuit?
Yes. I think that is a definition of current.
What is the difference between electrical energy and electronic energy?
spunk tastes good
What makes a volt a volt?
The Volt, a unit of measuring electrical force, is named after the Italian, 'Volta'. Voltage is the "push" that makes current flow through a closed electrical circuit. A Volt is equal to the potential energy difference between two points in a circuit that is equivalent to one Joule of energy per Coulomb of charge that passes between them.
Difference between a generator and a motor?
A generator converts kinetic energy into electrical energy; a motor converts electrical energy into kinetic energy.
What is the difference in electrical potential energy between two places in an electrical field?
voltage
True or false are charges in an electric circuit flow because of a difference in electrical potential energy?
TRUE
Are Charges in an electric circuit flow because of a difference in electrical potential energy true or false?
TRUE
What is the difference between a electric motor and a generator?
the difference between a electric motor and a generator.Motor- is a device or equipment which convert electrical energy to mechanical energy.Generator- is a device or equipment which convert mechanical energy to electrical energy.
How do you get energy from batteries?
You hook them up to an electrical circuit, and the energy would appear as electrical energy that the circuit can then transform into some other format.
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.
