ELI5. what is negative voltage?

779 views

I like watching science videos on YouTube and I have a very basic understanding of electronics. But I never seem to get the “negative voltage” thing.

Why is it used and how does it differ from normal voltage.

It doesn’t really differ. Voltage is a potential energy between two spots. A positive voltage between two locations means that electrons flowing from one to the other will give you energy. A negative voltage means that electrons flowing the other direction will give you energy.
