I am trying to gain a very basic understanding of voltage. I understand amps and resistance, but not voltage. I am thinking of a copper wire that is used in a basic electrical circuit to light a light bulb. Is the voltage of this wire an inherent property of copper at a given temperature? If not, what factors affect its voltage?
Lets assume there is a battery made of copper wire. Would the electrolyte solution at the anode and cathode affect the voltage? What other factors would affect voltage?
Would doubling the diameter of the copper wife affect the voltage?
Thanks for any insight.
