6 FAQs about [The higher the voltage the less energy it stores]

How does more voltage (greater potential difference) mean more current?

I know that voltage is the difference in electric potential energy between 2 points and that a higher voltage means more energy for a coloumb of charge (ie a 9V battery means 9 joules per coloumb).

What does a higher voltage mean?

The higher the voltage (electric potential), means larger joule of work for each coulomb. For a higher power demand means higher work per time (joules per second). A higher voltage can provide a higher amount of work (joules) for each charge (coulomb). Ampere is coulombs per second.

Why does a higher voltage produce more joules than a lower voltage?

A higher voltage can provide a higher amount of work (joules) for each charge (coulomb). Ampere is coulombs per second. For a certain amount of coulombs per second flow (current), a higher voltage can output a higher amount of work for each coulomb, compared to that of a lower voltage.

What does voltage as an electric potential mean?

Voltage as an electric potential, means that there is 1 joule of work stored as electric potential energy, for 1 unit charge of coulomb. The higher the voltage (electric potential), means larger joule of work for each coulomb. For a higher power demand means higher work per time (joules per second).

Why is voltage a measure of potential energy possessed by a charge?

Voltage is a measure of the potential energy possessed by a charge. Since everything's relative, a "voltage" is considered to be the difference in potential energy between charges at one point in a system, and charges at another point.

Why does a higher voltage produce more work per coulomb?

For a certain amount of coulombs per second flow (current), a higher voltage can output a higher amount of work for each coulomb, compared to that of a lower voltage. Since power is the amount of work done over a period of time (joules/sec), the higher voltage delivers a higher amount of work per second, per coulomb.
