E-field is a vector physical quantity. Direction depends on the type of charge. V-field is a scalar physical quantity.

Potential difference V The value of the electric potential depends on the choice of zero level, so we often use the difference in electric potential between two points. The Electric Potential Difference V between two points A and B is equal to the difference in the values of electric potential at those points. Particles in a potential difference A positively charged object accelerates from regions of higher electric potential toward regions of lower potential (like an object falling to lower elevation in Earth's gravitational field). A negatively charged particle tends to do the opposite, accelerating from regions of lower potential toward regions of higher potential.

Salt dissolves in blood but not in air When salt is placed in water or blood: Many more collisions occur between molecules than between molecules and air; these can break an ion free from the crystal. Any ions that become separated do not exert nearly as strong as an attractive force on each other because of the dielectric effect.

The magnitude of the E field between the plates relates to the potential difference from one plate to the other and the distance separating them To double the E field, the charge on other plates has to double. • Type of PQ: Scalar © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. QUANTITIES THAT AFFECT THE CAPACITANCE OF A CAPACITOR: PLATE AREA A capacitor with larger-surface-area plates should be able to maintain more charge separation because there is more room for the charge to spread out. QUANTITIES THAT AFFECT THE CAPACITANCE OF A CAPACITOR: DISTANCE SEPARATION A larger distance between the plates leads to a smallermagnitude E field between the plates. Because the magnitude of this E field is proportional to the amount of electric charge on the plates, a larger plate separation leads to a smaller-magnitude electric charge on the plates. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. QUANTITIES THAT AFFECT THE CAPACITANCE OF A CAPACITOR: DIELECTRIC CONSTANT Material between the plates with a large dielectric constant becomes polarized by the electric field between the plates. Thus more charge moves onto capacitor plates that are separated by material of high dielectric constant. Capacitance of a capacitor The capacitance of a particular capacitor should increase if the surface area A of the plates increases, decrease if the distance d between them is increased, and increase if the dielectric constant k of the material between them increases: © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 16 12/15/2015 Tip ELECTRIC WORK W q · v © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
