Hello all,
I would appreciate any help clearing up some confusions I have with the term 'grounded'. I am aware that when an electron is grounded it loses its charge and reverts to a low energy state. On a battery we have a positive and a negative (GND) terminal.
My confusion is with the concept electrons move from the negative terminal (where there is a surplus) to the positive, doesn't this conflict with the definition of 'grounded' as how can electrons move when they are at a low energy state?
In a battery do electrons flow from the negative terminal where they are supposed to be grounded?
Many thanks,
