Hello All
For a 1.5V battery, what is the potential voltage at the positive terminal and negative terminal of battery? Is it 1.5 and 0 respectively? or 1.5 and -1.5?
Hear from you all Thank you

Hi Jason, You are on solid ground. Voltage is a quantity used to measure difference in potential. Voltage on one point can only be expressed with respect to another point. The tip is +1.5 V wrt (with respect to) the bottom. The bottom is -1.5V wrt the top. If you put two cells in series aiding and made one reference point the middle where they touch, then the top would be +1.5v and the bottom would be -1.5v wrt the reference. Tom

You probably have it right but are getting a bit bogged down :-) The potential of the Pos terminal with respect to the Neg terminal is +1.5v. How you connect it is the key.
