9 Terms

1
New cards

Electric potential difference

2
New cards

electron volts (eV)

1 eV = 1.6 × 10-19 C • 1 V = 1.6 × 10-19 J

  • The energy change resulting in moving one e-charge (±1.6 × 10-19 C) through a distance of 1 V

3
New cards

Electric potential (uniform field)

  • ∆V = -Ed

  • ∆U = -qEd

    • d = parallel distance across field line

4
New cards

Electric potential & energy (point-charge)

5
New cards

total potential energy (multiple point-charges)

6
New cards

Electric potential (continuous distribution)

7
New cards

equi-potential surface

surface/area on which all points have equivalent V

8
New cards

electric field from potential

*E = -∇V

9
New cards

corona discharge

visible heat & light radiation from conductors near an E-field in high-voltage systems

  • ionization
