Work must be done to move a charge in an electric field created by a point charge or a continuously distributed charge.
Electric Potential
Movement of positive charged particle in uniform electrical field.
Electric Potential
The electric potential at a point is a scalar quantity. It could be negative, positive, or zero, depending on the sign of the charge.
Electric Potential
At a point near a positive charge, it is positive.
Electric Potential
At a point near a negative charge, it is negative.
Electric Potential
The electric potential at any point in an electric field (E) is electric potential energy per unit charge at that point.
Electric potential equation
Electric potential is designated as = V
Electric Potential Equation
V = electric potential
U = electric potential energy
Electric Potential
If a positive test charge moves in the direction of the electric field, the field does positive work on the charge. The potential energy decreases.
Electric Potential
If a negative test charge moves opposite the direction of the electric field, the field does positive work on the charge. The potential energy decreases.
ElectricPotential Difference
Potential difference is the difference between the potentials between two points in the electric field.
