Hi
I have a question about something I read. In a circuit, I was told that electrons move from a low potential to a higher potential but an electron's potential energy decreases. In other words an electron's potential increases while its potential energy decreases as it moves. How does this work? I thought that potential and potential energy were proportional? Thanks.
