if change in potential is negative (for a proton), the change in potential energy is negative
change in KE is posiitive
potential energy is measured in Joules, or eV (-1.6 x 10^-19 J)
terminal voltage
less than ideal voltage
disconnect the battery and add a dielectric…
- Charge is trapped, Q = constant
- V decreases by a factor of K
- E decreases by a factor of K
add a dielectric
- V does not change
- C increases, so Q increases by a factor of K
- E does not change
- PE increases by a factor of K
in series, a larger capacitor has a LOWER voltage drop than a smaller capacitor
p. 1192
in series, all capacitors have the same Q (Q1 = Q2), their voltages can be determined afterward, V = Q/C

magnetic field = MOVING charges
magnetic field exerts NO FORCE on a charge at rest
P = IV (IVy schools are Powerful)
Power is proportional to current, NOT resistance
