Electric Potential Flashcards
A conservative force is ….
1) a force with the property that the work done in moving a particle between two points is independent of the path taken
2) electric force is conservative, and thus it as an electric potential energy
change of potential energy △U =
△U = Uf - Ui = -W
electric potential V at a point is
potential energy per unit charge at a point in an electric field
V = U / q
electric potential different △V =
△V = Vf - Vi
= ( Uf / q ) - ( Ui / q )
= △U / q = - W / q
= - ∫ (f to i) E · ds
reference potential energy
we set Ui = 0 at infinity as our reference potential energy
V = - W∞ / q
the SI unit for potential is
V (volt)
= J / C
1 eV
it is a energy
1 eV = e (1V)
= (C) (1 J/C)
= 1 J
△K =
the change K in the kinetic energy of the particle
△K = Kf - Ki
= W app + W
= (work done on the particle by an applied force) + (work done on the particle by the electric field)
potential due to a point charge
Vf - Vi
= - ∫ ( ∞ to R )E dr
代入E=q/4πε0r²
V = (1/4πε0) (q/r)
potential due to a group of point charges
V = Va+Vb+….+Vn
= (1/4πε0) [(qa/ra)+(qb/rb)+….+(qn/rn)]
potential due to a electric dipole
V = (1/4πε0) (pcosθ/r²) #p is the dipole #θ is the angle between p and r(-)
find potential of continuous charge
by integral of V = (1/4πε0) (q/r)
calculating field from potential
Ex = - DV/Dx Ey = - DV/Dy Ex = - DV/Dz

the electric potential energy of a system of fixed point charges
(potential energy of a system of two point charges)
is equal to the work that must be done by applied force to assemble(組合) the system
U = W = q2 V = (1/4πε0) (q1q2/r)
potential energy of a system of three point charges
U = U12 + U13 +U23
