Gravitational potential energy
GPE of two masses separated by distance r. Joules. It is work done in bringing two or more objects form intently far away.
Gravitational potential difference
Joules per kg.
Gravitational potential
Work done per unit mass moving a test mass from infinity to some point in the gravitational field of a source mass
Joules per kg
Orbital speed
Escape speed
What is the case is velocity is less than escape velocity
What is the case if velocity is greater than or equal to escape velocity
Electric potential energy (J)
For like charges the potential energy is positive, for opposite, it is negative
Electric potential difference
Electric potential
Joules per coulomb
Relationship between electric field strength and electric potential
