work

  • Energy in the form of ____________ by an external force is needed

  • _________ must be done by an external force to move an object against nature - from low potential energy to high potential energy.

  • To move a charge in an electric field against its natural direction of motion would require ______.

againts

Moving ______ the NATURAL FLOW (of direction) of the ELECTRIC FIELD (dependent on the charge) will REQUIRE WORK.

along

Moving _____ the NATURAL FLOW (of direction) of the ELECTRIC FIELD (dependent on the charge) DOESN’T REQUIRE WORK.

5

electric potential energy

  • ___________ depends on the charge of the

    object experiencing the electric field.

  • The greater the charge on the “test charge,” the greater

    the electric potential energy.

  • The stronger the electric field, the more energy a

    charge would need to move about the electric field.

New cards
6

electric potential

  • is also known as “electrostatic potential”, “potential”, “voltage”, sometimes “potential difference

  • The amount of work needed to move a test charge (q0 ) from one point to another in an electric field.

New cards
7

relative measure

  • Electric potential is a _________ of how strongly a charge will be pushed away from or towards the location of the potential.

  • Electric potential measures the potential/voltage at one spot relative to the potential/voltage to the other spot (potential difference)
