1. What is electric potential?

Potential energy per unit charge
2. The SI unit of measurement for electric potential is the Volt (V) .
3. Write an equation that expresses the relationship between volts, joules, coulomb.
1 Volt = 1 Joules
1 Coulomb

4. Since an electric potential has magnitude but no direction, it is a?

Scalar
5-6. You have a 12.0V motorcycle battery that can move 5000C of charge, and a 12.0V car battery that
can move 60,000C of charge. How much energy does each deliver?
For the motorcycle battery;
Given: q = 5000C and V = 12.0V
Formula: U = qV
Solution: U = (5,000C)(12.0V) = 6.00x104J

For the car battery;

Given: q = 60,000C and V = 12.0V
Formula: U = qV
Solution: U = (60,000C)(12.0V) = 7.20x105J

7. What are the sign and magnitude of a point that produced a potential of -5Volts at a distance
3m?
Given:
V = -5 Volt
r = 3m
q=?
Solution:
V = kq
r
-5 = 8.988 x 109 x q
3
-15 = 8.988 x 109 x q
8.988 x 109 8.988 x 109
-1.6 = q

8-10. Calculate the Total Electric Potential at point P.
