PSYB65H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Fluid Compartments, Voltmeter, Electric Charge
Document Summary
An electrical charge measured in volts; the ability to do work through the use of stored potential electrical energy. Set up in vary of ways, artificially by us or naturally but our bodies. A measure of a difference in electrical potential. Negative charge between electrons, or the amount of force between the dynamic setup: volt, voltmeter. Week 5 lecture #5: wednesday october 07, 2015. A flow of electrons from a body that contains a higher charge (more electrons) to a body that contains a lower charge (fewer electrons) Basic battery is define by this circuit: negative pole, positive pole. Location to which electrons flow; lower charge. A device that measures the difference in electrical potential between two bodies. Negative pole (higher charge) - positive pole (lower charge) = difference = electrical potential (volts) Neurons can convey information as a wave induced by stimulation on the cell body traveling down the axon to its terminal.
