Lecture 29. Electric Forces and Fields

PHYS 1750: SELECTED TOPICS in PHYSICS

LECTURE 30. Electric Potential

18.1-2. Electric Potential
1. Electrostatic force is conservative
2. W = F*d = q*E*d = -Δ(PE) in uniform field E
3. Electric potential difference Δ(V) = Δ(PE) /q = E*d
4. Volt = J/C; Electric field often expressed in V/m instead of N/C
18.3. Point Charges
1. V=k*q/r
2. Superposition
3. PE = q2V1
18.4. Charged Conductors
1. Potential constant on the surface
2. Same potential in the interior
