in chemistry we have defined a voltage as a measure of the difference in electron attracting ability of substances when talking about electrochemical cells but in physics we say it is a difference in potential energy This makkes sense). do they mean the same? and why exactly does one substance have a stronger attraction for elctrons than another (in redox reactions). is it simply electronegaivity or something to do with potential energy of electons? thanks for time in reading
Re: is there a difference between these voltage definitions (see below)?
