Comment on What is negative voltage?
akunohana@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 week agoHoly shit that escalated fast! In a fascinating way, that is! Thanks! So, truly, there is a measurable, absolutistic - albeit fluctuating - voltage (measured in electron volts) in the ground, but for our everyday appliances we rather measure voltage in the difference between the immediate source’s terminals, such as the two terminals of a battery, for instance?

That’s my understanding, I think I’ve grasped at least the general gist of it, if not the specific nuances and details. Granted, I’m not a physicist or scientist of any sort. My dad was an electrician if that counts for anything, I dabble in electronics and I watch a stupid amount of Youtube, but those are pretty much my only qualifications, so feel free to consider this having a similar accuracy and truthiness level to that of generative AI, I won’t be offended.
