Homework Statement
When I say I have a 9v battery, am I talking about the electric potential, electric potential energy, or the change in electric potential?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
My first thought was the change in electric potential energy. But then I thought that it was electric potential energy becuase the 9v is referring to the energy that it can produce to move electrons? I figured that the change in electric potential would be if were were talking about specific locations, I.e one node of the battery would be at 9 (the high end of electric potential) and the other end the negative end would be 0 (low end of electric potential) so the difference would be 9v.
See where I am just confused a little>? any help in just reasoning it out some more to make it more clear?
Thanks
