New cards

What is the equipotential contours for two opposite electrical charges?

knowt flashcard image
13
New cards

As you get closer to a positive charge → does the potential energy increase or decrease

Increase (test charge) → work done against the field to place the test charge closer to the positive charge

<p>Increase (test charge) → work done against the field to place the test charge closer to the positive charge</p>
14
New cards

As you get closer to a negative charge → does the potential energy increase or decrease

Decrease (test charge) → work done by the field to get test charge closer to the negative charge

<p>Decrease (test charge) → work done by the field to get test charge closer to the negative charge</p>
