Doubt: Definition of Voltage (from the book: The Art of Electronics)
I am an Electronics Enthusiast. I wanted to start electronics from the basics. Understand the concepts from the very base. Thus, I have started reading this book (The Art of Electronics) today itself, and while reading, I stumbled upon this very definition of voltage from the book. Which goes like:
>Officially, the voltage between two points is the cost in energy (work done) required to move a unit of positive charge from the more negative point (lower potential) to the more positive point (higher potential).
Which seems like a really good definition. But isn't voltage moving from a higher potential to a lower, and not the other way around? I mean, it's a very holy book for electronics enthusiasts, but then I really wanted to understand this part. If any smart brain could help me understand this. I would really be grateful. Perhaps you could help me build a very correct base for my journey in electronics.
Thanking you in Anticipation!
