I've only been dealing in electronics for a couple of months but one thing has kept bugging me.
0v is a voltage potential of nothing i.e the electrons have no desire to move
Lets say I have a 100v source and I hook it up to a 99v source.
The 99v source will have a voltage potential of -1v relative to the 100v source and the 100v source will have a voltage potential of +1v relative to the 99v source.
How can we have voltage below 0 potential?
I would understand if 0volts was half way between infinite or if positive voltage was protons and negative voltage was electrons but seeing as how protons don't move and positive/negative voltages can still be attracted to each other I doubt it.
What am I missing?
