PRELIMS - LESSON 4 Flashcards
Energy, whether it is
mechanical, chemical,
or electrical, comes in
two forms:____ and _____
kinetic and
potential.
____________ which is the stored energy of an object at
rest, is converted into _______ when an object moves.
Potential energy,
kinetic energy
All __________ require the storage of energy
before transformed into light, heat, and motion.
electrical circuits
This stored energy in a circuit is what is referred to as _____
electric potential energy.
Electric Potential Energy
● ________ in an electric field are comparable to
the mass of objects in a gravitational field.
● The ____________determines how much
stored energy a charge has.
● Electric potential energy is thus defined as the
energy needed to move a charge against an electric
field.
Electric charges
electric potential energy
is the change in potential energy UE of a charge displaced from point A to B.
Potential difference
Electric potential difference is most commonly referred to as ____
voltage.
