Hi:

How many volts are generated by the difference of 1 electron? I would
imagine this value to be astronomically small.


Thanks,

Radium

The question is meaningless.

An electron has CHARGE not voltage.

It depends on how far you move it and the geometry of the conductors,
Basically as many as you like. Getting one electron moved would be
rather tricky though and if there was a significant P.D. afterwards, it
might not stay there . . .

Radium has never asked a meaningful question.
He just searches for something stupid,
and starts asking.
Then if he gets an answer he does not grok,
he changes the rules and the question.
All to get trolling glory.

10e-Graham's # of volts would be nice. Now that is an extremely small
voltage.

Think about it. 10-the-power-NEGATIVE-Graham's-number.

That is a decimal followed by a Graham's-number amount of zeros followed
by one 1.

Just where can such a low voltage exist?
