ESSENTIAL CONTENT
A. Discuss the Energy Implications of the Electric Field
1. Changes in Potential Energy result of change in
position of charge along field lines
2. Changes in PE depend on field strength, change in
position, and property of object
3. Changes in PE result of energy transfers into & out of
field
B. Discuss Electric Potential
1. Define Potential at a location
2. Potential must be measured with respect to a
reference point
3. Define Potential Difference
C. Map Equipotential Lines
1. Maps (analogous to topographical )
2. Potential gradient (-E)
3. Equipotential lines are perpendicular to Electric Field
lines

OBJECTIVES
 Relate the configuration of static charges to the electric
field, electric force, electric potential, and electric
potential energy.
 Explain why a charged object in an electric field is
considered to have electrical potential energy.
 Draw and interpret electric field lines
 Distinguish between electrical potential energy and
electric potential.
 Create and interpret potential energy diagrams.
