ELECTRIC POTENTIAL
ENERGY AND POTENTIAL
Agenda 2/9/2015

Review Electrostatics Test
◦ Commonly missed questions
◦ Retake policy

Potential Energy Demonstration

Notes on Electric Potential Energy
◦ Practice problems for EPE
Retake Policy

Must complete any missing work from the
unit first!!

Must complete assigned problem set and
review answers with Mr. Gustin.

Meetings must take place before the next
test date.
Energy

Energy is the ability to do work.

Measured in joules
◦ 1J = 1 N*m

Forms of Energy:
1. Kinetic Energy: Energy of Motion
2. Potential Energy: Energy of Position
3. Nuclear Energy: Energy of the Atom
Work

This is a measure of the change in energy in a
system.

Represented by variable W.
◦ Work = Force * distance
◦ Both quantities must be present for work to be done

Demo: Physical Science Textbook
Gravitational Potential Energy

The energy of position is called potential energy

The higher you raise the book off the ground the
greater the GPE of the object.
◦ The more WORK the object CAN do.
Electric Potential Energy

A charged object can have a potential based
on its position in an electric field or its position
based on another charged particle.
◦ Think about holding two positive charges very
close together.
A Brief Comparison
GPE: Ug=mgh

Directly related to height
EPE: Ue = kq1q2/d

◦ Larger height => Larger Energy

Based on gravitational pull
◦ Greater G => Greater Energy
Inversely related to distance
◦ Smaller dist. => Larger Energy

Based on strength of E-Field
◦ Greater E => Greater Energy
Agenda 2/10/2015

◦ EPE and GPE
◦ Practice Problems

Introduce Potential
◦ Gravitational Potential
◦ Electric Potential (Voltage)

HW: EPE Problem Set
Energy
Ability to accomplish work
 Measured in joules (J)
 Variable shown as U in text
 Forms: kinetic-energy of motion (KE, UK)
potential-energy of position (PE, UG, UE)
nuclear-energy of the atom

Work

Equal to the change in energy of a system
W = ΔU
Work has to be done to a charge to
increase its potential energy
 Work is done by a charge to decrease its
potential energy

Increasing Electric Potential Energy

Just as an object
raised to a higher
height has more of
an ability to exert a
greater force onto
the ground at
landing, a negative
charge moved in
the direction of a
field has more UE
(EPE)
Electric Potential (Voltage)

Ratio of potential energy to charge
V = Electric potential energy
test charge’s charge
V = UE/qo

For potential created by a point charge…
V = kq/r
**like with E fields, potential exists and is the same
at a given location no matter which charge is there and
even if NO charge is there to feel it
SCALAR QUANTITY
Electric Potential vs. UE

Potential same but
UE different
(dependent upon
test charge) at
same spot in space
Electric potential difference
Same as voltage in circuits
 If potential difference exists, work will be
done.

◦ Charges will be moved (current)
ΔV = Vb – Va = +W/qo = +ΔPE/qo
W = +q ΔV
 If no potential difference exists between
points no work is done…no current
◦ Equipotential
Example Problem

How much work is needed to change the
potential of an electron exactly 5.00V?
Example Problem

What is the electric potential difference
for a positive charge of value 2.0 x 10-6 C
if it is moved closer to another positive
charge, requiring 4.0 x 10-4 J of work?

located 3.3mm left of a 20C source?


Above?

Below?
Potential is like Elevation
Think of a
topographical map.
 Each line
represents the
same elevation.
 Masses will roll
downhill, toward
smaller numbers

Equipotential

Places of
equal
potential in a
diagram with
electric
charges
Equipotentials vs. Electric Field Lines
 No
arrows on equipotentials
 List Potential somewhere on
equipotential
 Have equal increments between
shown equipotentials
 All equipotentials strike electric
field lines at right angles

Potential Difference Problem

What is the electric potential difference
for a positive charge of value 2.0 x 10-6 C
if it is moved closer to another positive
charge, requiring 4.0 x 10-4 J of work for
this to happen?
Electric Potential Difference in a
Constant Electric field
Between two
plates the E-Field
lines run from +
to – plates.
How should the
EP lines be
drawn?
Electric potential difference
Critical Thinking:
•In order for work to be done
on a charge, what must
happen?
e-
•How would an electron
move between these two
plates?
•What is it called when
electrons flow/move?
