Document Summary

Electric field inside a uniform sphere of charge. V = -wq = que. electric potential energy. Electrical potential energy u of the particle - object system is. If the particle moves potential difference av through a d u = qsv = qcvf - vi. Mechanical energy tf particle moves through a change. Sv in electric potential without an applied force. With an applied force acting on particle doing work w app. Ak = - q av t w app. When a. k - o , force : the work of appt . Points on equipotential surface all have the same electric potential. Sv = ve - vi = - fit e. d 5. Fit e. de: special case : uniform field of mag . Av between parallel equipotential lines separated by distance dx. 417 to r : distance of particle to particle. V has same sign as q : potential due to collection of charged particles is.
