Example Problem 3
If 600J of energy are required to move 9.36x1019
electrons from one point to another, what is the
potential difference between the two points?
VOLTAGE
VOLTAGE
This positive region created by separating
the free electron from the basic atomic
structure is called a positive ion.
In general, every source of voltage is
established by simply creating a
separation of positive and negative
charges.
