    How is electrical potential transmitted through an electric circuit

    Thanks for the thoughts, but electric potential is not related to the amount of electrons. The electric potential is measured in V (volts) which is joules per coulomb or energy per unit charge. Since each electron has the same charge, this is the equivalent to saying energy per electron. The...

    How is electrical potential transmitted through an electric circuit

    My question is how is electrical potential actually transmitted through an electric circuit. A charge (i.e. and electron) is moved through an magnetic field (as in a generator), the particle gains electric potential due to the work performed on it in the generator. This potential is then used...
