GENERAL PHYSICS -2 REVIEWER NOTE:

ELECTRIC POTENTIAL -Work done is not dependent on the path

taken from one point A to point B.
Variables

-F = ∆ x ¿ y or F ∆ x =−∆ ∪

- F ∆ x is equal to work. Thus when a particle

move from point A to point B.

-WA WB =

-W=∆k

-conservation of mechanical energy is also

applicable.

Equations:

●W = qEd

Where: q= charge

E = Electric Field

d = distance

●AU = -W

●W = mv ❑ - mv o

Unit of work : Nm or J

micro = 1 x 10−6

nano = 1 x 10−9

pico = 1 x 10−12

temto = 1 x 10−15

ELECTRIC POTENTIAL

-a.k.a ELECTROSTATIC POTENTIAL

-at any point in an electric field E is electric

potential energy (EPE) per unit charge at that point.

U
-mathematics: U
qo

-electric potential is a scalar quantity

-honored after Alessandro Volta

-Note that 1V = 1 joule / coulomb (J/C)
