Electric potential and electric potential energy
What You'll Learn
Define electric potential and electric potential energy in a uniform field
Calculate work required to move charges against electric fields
Apply the relationship between potential difference, work, and charge
Determine electric potential from point charges using Coulomb's law
Compare electric potential energy to gravitational potential energy concepts
What You'll Practice
1
Calculating work to move charges between parallel plates
2
Finding speed of charged particles using energy conservation
