Electric potential

• implies that something is about to

  happen.

  potential
• defined as the capacity to do work. A body with energy can do work, whereas a body without it cannot do work.

  energy
• is one of the many forms of energy.

  potential energy
• due to its position and normally converted into useful

  work.

  potential energy
• also known as potential energy

  energy at rest
• type of potential energy, is due to a body's elevation from the ground.

  Gravitational potential energy
• amount of electric potential energy

  per unit charge.

  electric potential
• equivalent to the amount of work needed to move a charge from one reference point to another.

  electric potential
• The Unit to measure Electric Potential

  Joules per Coulomb(j/c) or volt(v)
• relates the electric potential and the distribution of electric charges in any given material to each other.

  electric potential function
• is a quantity that is not perceivable by your senses.

  electric potential
• drawn around the charge to represents the electric field

  electric field lines
• loops drawn around the a charge to represent the electric potential around it

  equipotential lines
• are drawn perpendicular to each electric field line

  equipotential lines
• varies for any charge distribution.
