Key Concepts

• Electric Field: The electric field can be found by taking the negative gradient of the electric potential.

  • If two elements are perpendicular, their dot product is zero.

  • If they are parallel, the dot product is 1 or -1, depending on their direction.

• Path of Integration: When finding electric potential differences, only the components of the path that align with the electric field contribute.

  • Example: Path A to C aligns with the electric field, contributing to potential difference.

  • Path A to D and D to B shows a similar situation to A to C.
