Module 5 Flashcards
The energy that charged particles have because of its electric charge and relative position to other charged particles.
Electric Potential Energy
The amount of work done is ____ to the change in potential energy.
equal
___ is the change in electrical potential difference when 1-coulomb charge experiences a change in electrical potential energy of one joule.
Volt
is the change in electrical energy when moving between different points.
Electrical potential difference or voltage change
The work done by the electric force to move a charge from point a to b is ____.
Electric Potential Difference or Voltage
A device with a positive and negative terminal representing high and low potential.
Batteries
T/F
Electric Sources supply a constant potential difference.
True
In a battery, the voltage is the ____ between the terminals.
potential difference
Three-dimensional surface where electric potential V is the same. Moving a test charge keeps the electric potential energy constant.
Equipotential Surface
T/F
In an equipotential surface, there is work done to move a charge.
False (No change in potential difference, so no work)
T/F
An equipotential surface must be perpendicular to the electric field at any point.
True
