AP Physics Worksheet: Chapter 17 Electric Potential and Potential Energy; Capacitance Define the following terms and list the equations for each variable: Electric potential Electric potential difference Equipotential lines Voltage Electron volt Electric dipole Capacitor Questions: 1. Describe the two methods that can be used to discuss the change in potential energy of a charge when it moves between two points. 2. What is voltage? 3. Name the SI unit of electric potential and potential difference. 4. What is a volt equal to? 5. Describe how the potential difference relates to a charged particle is related in a uniform electric field? 6.What is the SI unit for E? 7. If the electric field is non uniform how does that affect the electric field strength definition? 8. Describe Equipotential lines. 9. Draw diagrams that illustrate lines of force and equipotential lines. a. parallel plate conductors b. single positive charge c. two point charges of opposite sign 10. How can electron volts be expressed? 11. How do we calculate the electric potential due to a point charge? 12.
