9.3 – Electric Potential
Electric Potential Energy uniform fields
The more we move a
charge from A towards
B, the more Potential
Energy it has.

The Potential Energy
will be equal to the
work done:




                                                    This is just like:



                        Electric Potential Energy    Gravitational PE
Electric Potential (V) uniform fields
     All points in a field have a Potential. It is the energy a coulomb’s worth of
     charge would have if placed at that point.




                                                                       Field Lines


                                                                       Lines of
                                                                       Equipotential




1.     What’s the Potential Difference (pd) between: a) A & C? b) B & D?
2.     If a Charge of +3C is placed at B, how much PE does it have?
3.     If a charge of +2C is moved from C to B, how much work would be done? What about -2C?
4.     If a charge of +3C was placed at B and released, what would it do? How much KE would it
       have at A?
Electric Potential definition
Electric Potential (V) at a point is the amount of work per
unit charge needed to take a small positive test charge from
a place of zero potential (infinity) to the point.

Potential Gradient (V) and Field Strength (E)
                     Uniform Fields:
                     Just like with Gravitational fields the Electric
                     Field Strength is the same as the Potential
                     Gradient for the sort of uniform field you get
                     between two electrodes.
Potential (V)

                                                                 -
                                                 +
                             +

                                                             -

This image shows the
Electric Potential around charges
and draws it as an equipotential surface.
It is easy to see what will happen to a positive charge if
it is placed somewhere on this surface.
Electric Fields and Charges behave just like Gravitational fields and
Masses, the only real difference is that they can attract AND repel.
Equipotential simulations
For both simulations click in the drop down box and change it to
equipotential. Then shoose different scenarios to see the equipotential lines

Graphene
The 2010 Nobel prize for Physics was
awarded to Andre Geim and Konstantin
Novoselov of the University of Manchester
(UK) for their experiments with Graphene.




                                            Around graphene atoms there are
                                            ‘valleys’ of equipotential that
                                            electrons can flow through, giving the
                                            material really unusual electrical
                                            properties.
                                            If the electron is moving along an
                                            equipotential it is doing no work.
                                            Electrical current with no resistance ?
                                            At room temperature?
                                            Click on the pictures for more info
Potential due to a point charge
The Potential at point P is defined as the amount of work per
unit charge needed to take a small POSITIVE test charge
from a place of zero potential (infinity) to P.


                                               P has a +ve
                                               potential (+V)



                           -W
-Q                                              P has a -ve
                                                potential (-V)
Potential due to a point charge continued



The first graph represents the Force as the +ve test charge moves from ∞ to P.
The area under the graph is the Work Done and this allows us to use calculus
to get the Potential (V) graph and Equation.
Addition of Potential
Potential is a Scalar
Just add the potential from
each charged body to find
the combined potential.



Extra cleverness
At P there might be zero
potential but that doesn’t mean
there is zero field.

A +ve charge will move to the
right if placed at P so there
must still be a field.

9.3 - Electric Potential

  • 1. 9.3 – Electric Potential
  • 2. Electric Potential Energy uniform fields The more we move a charge from A towards B, the more Potential Energy it has. The Potential Energy will be equal to the work done: This is just like: Electric Potential Energy Gravitational PE
  • 3. Electric Potential (V) uniform fields All points in a field have a Potential. It is the energy a coulomb’s worth of charge would have if placed at that point. Field Lines Lines of Equipotential 1. What’s the Potential Difference (pd) between: a) A & C? b) B & D? 2. If a Charge of +3C is placed at B, how much PE does it have? 3. If a charge of +2C is moved from C to B, how much work would be done? What about -2C? 4. If a charge of +3C was placed at B and released, what would it do? How much KE would it have at A?
  • 4. Electric Potential definition Electric Potential (V) at a point is the amount of work per unit charge needed to take a small positive test charge from a place of zero potential (infinity) to the point. Potential Gradient (V) and Field Strength (E) Uniform Fields: Just like with Gravitational fields the Electric Field Strength is the same as the Potential Gradient for the sort of uniform field you get between two electrodes.
  • 5. Potential (V) - + + - This image shows the Electric Potential around charges and draws it as an equipotential surface. It is easy to see what will happen to a positive charge if it is placed somewhere on this surface. Electric Fields and Charges behave just like Gravitational fields and Masses, the only real difference is that they can attract AND repel.
  • 6. Equipotential simulations For both simulations click in the drop down box and change it to equipotential. Then shoose different scenarios to see the equipotential lines Vector Fields Applet Electrostatics Applet http://www.falstad.com/vector3de/ http://www.falstad.com/emstatic/ CLICK ON THE PICTURES if the links don’t work
  • 7. Lines of Equipotential (V) Graphene The 2010 Nobel prize for Physics was awarded to Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov of the University of Manchester (UK) for their experiments with Graphene. Around graphene atoms there are ‘valleys’ of equipotential that electrons can flow through, giving the material really unusual electrical properties. If the electron is moving along an equipotential it is doing no work. Electrical current with no resistance ? At room temperature? Click on the pictures for more info
  • 8. Potential due to a point charge The Potential at point P is defined as the amount of work per unit charge needed to take a small POSITIVE test charge from a place of zero potential (infinity) to P. P has a +ve potential (+V) -W -Q P has a -ve potential (-V)
  • 9. Potential due to a point charge continued The first graph represents the Force as the +ve test charge moves from ∞ to P. The area under the graph is the Work Done and this allows us to use calculus to get the Potential (V) graph and Equation.
  • 10. Addition of Potential Potential is a Scalar Just add the potential from each charged body to find the combined potential. Extra cleverness At P there might be zero potential but that doesn’t mean there is zero field. A +ve charge will move to the right if placed at P so there must still be a field.
