Really appreciate all the help, everyone. Don't have any questions at the moment, but I'll come back if I do. Thank you for all the clear, concise, and detailed answers to my questions! :)

I did, and I was confused when I typed that. I think I might get it now though after thinking about it a bit longer. We were able to convert charge separation into voltage just through measurement. We took different materials that would undergo a redox reaction, and just measured their voltage...

I see, so the buildup of negative charge at one end and positive charge at another is what leads to the voltage difference. How exactly does this translate to a voltage difference? As in, how does the separation of unlike charges in a battery lead to a voltage difference in a circuit?

Aren't a voltage difference and a potential difference the same thing?

The kinetic energy of the motion of the electrons in the circuit

Are you saying that the current in a series DC circuit is not exactly constant throughout the circuit but only approximately so? It is really interesting. I had forgotten that the zero-voltage drop across a wire in a circuit diagram was only an approximation, haha. So, the kinetic energy...

Been away from this for awhile, but, if I recall correctly, you'd get the same voltage for each reading with just different signs (one negative and the other positive). Am I close? I see, so it's just an approximation. There is a change in voltage as the electrons move through the wire, and...

Hey! I have a question and a drew up a diagram to help out. I drew up a circuit that includes just a voltage source and a resistor. I know the voltage is constant in each of the circled portions of the circuit. As in, as you move through the wiring, the voltage doesn't change from one point to...
