ELECTRIC POTENTIAL/POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE Flashcards
Work done=?
Electric Potential
is the amount of work needed to move a unit charge from a reference point to a
specific point against an electric field.
Electric Potential
Low potential Region to High Potential, ________________
Work is done
required to move a positive test charge towards the sphere against the electric field.
Work
the total electric potential energy divided by the amount of charge.
electric potential
At any location the potential
energy per charge will be the ___________.

Formula for Electric Potential
V= PE/q
Unit for Electric Potential
Joule per Coulomb (J/C)
Volt
The electric Potential (V) at a distance r
from a single point charge Q can be
derived from the expression for its electric
field:
V=kQ/r
