But don't you see the disconnect there? Potential is described as potential energy per unit charge. So if a particle is moving from a state of high potential energy to a state of low potential energy (as in any spontaneous reaction) then the electrical potential should ALSO have a negative...

Ok, I think I am starting to understand what you mean. This was a great way of putting it. But I don't see this appearing in the equation for electrical potential. V = -nFΔG There is no where in the equation where you would assign the charge of the particle therefore changing the sign of...

Hi all, Thanks for taking your time to help me. It means a lot! For some context: I'm a physics student taking an analytical chemistry course and am a bit confused by the concept of electrical potential. Gravitational potential is the potential energy per unit mass, V(gravitational) = U/m. (I...

Hi all! My name is Nova and I have recently started a research project on the life cycle of planets, stars, galaxies, etc. I posted this question on reddit, but no one seemed particularly interested. Someone suggested I consult the ultimate physics community on the web, Physics Forums, so here I...
