This document provides learning objectives and content about electric potential energy and electric potential. It discusses key concepts such as electric field, electric potential, equipotential surfaces, and capacitors. Specifically, it defines electric potential as electric potential energy per unit charge. It also explains that equipotential surfaces represent positions of equal electric potential and that the electric field is perpendicular to equipotential surfaces. Finally, it introduces capacitors as devices that can store electric potential energy between two conductors, such as the plates of a parallel plate capacitor, and how dielectrics are used to increase a capacitor's capacitance.
Electric potential is defined as the electric potential energy per unit charge. It is measured in volts and represents the work required to move a charge between two points. The electric potential difference between two points is equal to the work needed to move a positive test charge between those points. Equipotential surfaces represent points in space where the electric potential is the same. Electric field lines are always perpendicular to equipotential surfaces.
1) Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter that comes in two types: positive and negative. Like charges repel and unlike charges attract, as described by Coulomb's Law.
2) An electric field is a physical quantity that permeates space and is created by electric charges. It exerts force on other charges and is a vector field. The electric field is proportional to the charge creating it and inversely proportional to the distance from that charge.
3) When multiple charges are present, the net electric field is the vector sum of the individual electric fields according to the superposition principle. Electric field lines provide a pictorial representation of electric fields, with density and direction corresponding to field strength and direction.
This document discusses electric potential, potential energy, and voltage. It defines electric potential as the amount of work needed to move a unit charge against an electric field. It explains that electric potential energy per charge is the total potential energy divided by the amount of charge. The document also states that the potential difference between two points is called the voltage, and introduces the volt as the standard unit of electric potential.
Since classical physics, it has been known that some materials, such as amber, attract lightweight particles after rubbing. The Greek word for amber, ήλεκτρον, or electron, was the source of the word 'electricity'. Electrostatic phenomena arise from the forces that electric charges exert on each other. Such forces are described by Coulomb's law. Even though electrostatically induced forces seem to be rather weak, some electrostatic forces such as the one between an electron and a proton, that together make up a hydrogen atom, is about 36 orders of magnitude stronger than the gravitational force acting between them.
There are many examples of electrostatic phenomena, from those as simple as the attraction of the plastic wrap to one's hand after it is removed from a package to the apparently spontaneous explosion of grain silos, the damage of electronic components during manufacturing, and photocopier & laser printer operation. Electrostatics involves the buildup of charge on the surface of objects due to contact with other surfaces. Although charge exchange happens whenever any two surfaces contact and separate, the effects of charge exchange are usually only noticed when at least one of the surfaces has a high resistance to electrical flow. This is because the charges that transfer are trapped there for a time long enough for their effects to be observed. These charges then remain on the object until they either bleed off to ground or are quickly neutralized by a discharge: e.g., the familiar phenomenon of a static "shock" is caused by the neutralization of charge built up in the body from contact with insulated surfaces.
The document discusses electric fields and electrostatics. It explains that when objects are rubbed together, electrons are transferred causing objects to become charged. It then discusses Coulomb's law which states that the force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. It provides equations for calculating electric field strength, potential, and force experienced by charges in fields.
Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter that causes objects to experience a force when near other charged objects. There are two types of charges: positive and negative.
The total charge of a system is the algebraic sum of the individual charges. Charge is also quantized, meaning it occurs in discrete integer multiples of the fundamental unit of charge carried by an electron or proton.
An electric current is the flow of electric charge through a conductor. It is measured using an ammeter. An electric circuit uses components like batteries and wires to provide a path for current to flow.
The potential difference is the work required to move a unit charge between two points in a circuit, and is measured in volts using

2. Electric potential energy is possessed by an object by
virtue of two elements, those being the charge possessed by
an object itself and the relative position of an object with
respect to other electrically charged objects. The magnitude
of electric potential depends on the amount of work done
in moving the object from one point to another against the
electric field.
When an object is moved against the electric field, it gains
some amount of energy which is defined as the electric
potential energy. For any charge, the electric potential is
obtained by dividing the potential energy by the quantity of
charge.
3. What Is Electric Potential Energy?
The electric potential energy of any given charge or system of changes is
defined as the total work done by an external agent in bringing the charge or
the system of charges from infinity to the present configuration without
undergoing any acceleration.
Definition: Electric potential energy is defined as the total potential energy a
unit charge will possess if located at any point in outer space.
Electric potential energy is a scalar quantity and possesses only magnitude
and no direction. It is measured in terms of Joules and is denoted by V. It
has the dimensional formula of ML2T-3A-1.
4.
5. Electric Potential Formula
A charge placed in an electric field possesses potential energy and is measured
by the work done in moving the charge from infinity to that point against the
electric field. If two charges, q1 and q2, are separated by a distance d, the electric
potential energy of the system is:
U = [1/(4πεo)] × [q1q2/d]
If two like charges (two protons or two electrons) are brought towards each other,
the potential energy of the system increases. If two unlike charges, i.e., a proton
and an electron, are brought towards each other, the electric potential energy of
the system decreases.
6.
7.
8. Electric Potential Formula
The electric potential at any point around a point charge q
is given by:
V = k × [q/r]
Where,
•V = electric potential energy
•q = point charge
•r = distance between any point around the charge to the
point charge
•k = Coulomb constant, k = 9.0 × 109 N
9.
10. The electrostatic potential between any two arbitrary charges q1,
q2 separated by distance r is given by Coulomb’s law and
mathematically written as:
U = k × [q1q2/r2]
Where,
•U is the electrostatic potential energy
•q1 and q2 are the two charges
Note: The electric potential at infinity is zero (as r = ∞ in the above
formula).
11. Electric Potential of a Point Charge
Let us consider a point charge ‘q’ in the presence of another charge ‘Q’ with
infinite separation between them.
UE (r) = ke × [qQ/r]
where, ke = 1/4πεo = Columb’s constant
Let us consider a point charge ‘q’ in the presence of several point charges
Qi with infinite separation between them.
UE (r) = ke q × ∑n
i = 1 [Qi /ri]
12. •At a point midway between two equal and opposite charges, the
electric potential is zero, but the electric field is not zero.
•The electric potential at a point is said to be one volt if one
joule of work is done in moving one Coloumb of the charge
against the electric field.
•If a negative charge is moved from point A to B, the electric
potential of the system increases.
•The reference level used to define electric potential at a point is
infinity. It signifies that the force on a test charge is zero at the
reference level.
•The surface of the earth is taken to be at zero potential since
the earth is so huge that the addition or removal of charge from it
will not alter its electrical state.
13. What Is Electric Potential Difference?
In an electrical circuit, the potential between two points (E) is
defined as the amount of work done (W) by an external agent in
moving a unit charge (Q) from one point to another.
Mathematically we can say that,
E = W/Q
Where,
•E = Electrical potential difference between two points
•W = Work done in moving a charge from one point to another
•Q = Quantity of charge in coulombs
15. Imagine you are an engineer working for a
technology company that specializes in
developing innovative solutions using electric
potential concepts. Your task is to design a
hypothetical application or device that utilizes
electric potential in a creative and practical way.
