Task 2
Read the passage and fill in the gaps.
Potential energy is energy that is "captured" in an ____________, with the potential to be released. There are
various different ____________ of potential energy. Many of these – such as gravitational, elastic, or electrical
potential energy – arise from the ____________ positions or configurations of objects. The potential energy may
then be defined as the ____________ that must be done against a particular force – in these examples,
gravitational, electrical or ____________ force – so as to achieve that configuration. Chemical potential energy is
slightly different, at least in its macroscopic manifestation: it is the energy that is available for ____________
from chemical reactions (for example, by burning a fuel). The electrical potential energy of an electrically
____________ object is defined as the work that must be done to move it from an infinite ____________ away to
its present location, in the ____________ of any non-electrical forces on the object. This energy is ____________
if there is another electrically charged object nearby.
- release
- work
- object
- non-zero
- absence
- distance
- relative
- elastic
- types
- charged

Task 3
Translate these sentences.
1. This is expressed quantitatively in Coulomb's law, which states that the magnitude of the electrostatic repelling
force between two particles is proportional to the product of their charges and the inverse square of the distance
between them.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
2. Formally, a measure of charge should be a multiple of the elementary charge e (charge is quantized), but since
it is an average, macroscopic quantity, many orders of magnitude larger than a single elementary charge, it can
effectively take on any real value.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
3. The strength or magnitude of the field at a given point is defined as the force that would be exerted on a
positive test charge of 1 coulomb placed at that point; the direction of the field is given by the direction of that
force
___________________________________________________________________________________________
4. The electric and magnetic fields are not completely separate phenomena; what one observer perceives as an
electric field, another observer in a different frame of reference perceives as a mixture of electric and magnetic
fields.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
5. The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two point electric charges is directly proportional to the
product of the magnitudes of each charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the
charges.
