True, all ground pins on the Arduino are electrically the same. But preferably when you are dealing with high current or inductive loads such as relays, you should use the ground pin closest to the power source.
Use a regulated power source, trusted to be 5V, and connect it to GND and 5V. Connect an unregulated power source, eg a battery, to GND and VIN. This should be above 6.2V (since the dropout voltage is 1.2V) and preferably between 9V and 12V. There is a built-in regulator that will supply the Arduino with exactly 5V.
GND (3): Short for 'Ground'. There are several GND pins on the Arduino, any of which can be used to ground your circuit. Most of the simple components used with the Arduino run happily off of 5 or 3.3 volts.
The Arduino Uno can be powered via the USB connection or with an external power supply. The power source is selected automatically. Leads from a battery can be inserted in the Gnd and Vin pin headers of the POWER connector. The board can operate on an external supply of 6 to 20 volts.

ground reference or source power voltage (pin) (VSS; GND) The ground reference voltage pin for NMOS, CMOS, and TTL devices, commonly the reference pin for all other device pins. VSS is normally the system ground and the term VSS is often used interchangeably with the term GND.
So i will ask can i run arduino as solo so no pc needed, Yes, you only need a PC to program it, once programmed it will run without the PC. Yes, there are Ethernet and WiFi shields available for connecting it to a network. You would normally connect it via the network / internet to a server to process data.
Yes you can use a mobile charger to power up arduino , you can also power up many other devices like atmega328 and other microcontrollers which are having the voltage range up to 5.5v a mobile charger is a small SMPS which has no effect on its output if any fluctuation in the power line occurs, your device will remain
Yes, You can easily power You Arduino Uno board with Your Phone Power Bank. You can use the same cable you use to connect Uno board to your PC because its one end is USB itself,so you insert USB end to your power bank. BUT, you can't use power bank to power your Quadcopter!
Introduction: Powering Arduino With a Battery
"The board can operate on an external supply of 6 to 20 volts. The recommended range is 7 to 12 volts." I've found that using 9V works well. You can simply connect the + end of your battery to Arduino Vin and the - end to Arduino ground (fig 1).Using that voltage to power something, from an Arduino, would not, most likely work with limited current sourcing capabilities and other, obvious, reasons. Still, the answer is yes, you can use digitalWrite() to make the Arduino pins output higher than 5V.
You can simply connect the + end of your battery to Arduino Vin and the - end to Arduino ground (fig 1). You should see the green light on the Arduino turn on to indicate that it is powered. It's also a good idea to attach a toggle switch in series with this battery so that you can turn your Arduino off and on.
Given that a typical Alkaline 9V block has a capacity of approx 450mAh, this means it drains the battery in just 30 hours or less two days (450mAh/15mA).
The Arduino Uno board can be powered via the USB connection or with an external power supply. The power source is selected automatically.
There are 16 digital pins on the Arduino board. They can be used as inputs or outputs. They operate at 5V and have a maximum current draw of 40mA. They have an internal pull up resistor that is disabled by default.
Yes, you can run the Nano from 12volt. No, you can't draw any current from the Nano (for sensors/LEDs) at that voltage.
The Arduino Nano can be powered via the Mini-B USB connection, 6-20V unregulated external power supply (pin 30), or 5V regulated external power supply (pin 27). The power source is automatically selected to the highest voltage source. So you can connect battery positive to Vin pin and negative to Ground pin directly.
The board can be supplied with power either from the DC power jack (7 - 12V), the USB connector (5V), or the VIN pin of the board (7-12V). Supplying voltage via the 5V or 3.3V pins bypasses the regulator, and can damage your board.

Input and Outputs. There are 16 digital pins on the Arduino board. They can be used as inputs or outputs. They operate at 5V and have a maximum current draw of 40mA.
Here's why: The Arduino Uno uses the atMEGA328 microcontroller, which has an absolute maximum rating of 40 mA source or sink per GPIO. Also, the total current through the supply or ground rails (i.e. the total of all current OP wants the GPIO pins to sink, or source) is rated to a maximum of 150 200 mA.
