Recall Work from Phy 1151 • Work done by the force given by:
W = F d cos(θ)Positive: Force is in direction movedNegative: Force is opposite direction movedZero: Force is perpendicular to direction moved
• Careful! Ask WHAT is doing work!Opposite sign for work done by you!
• Conservative Forces Δ Potential Energy = -Wconservative

When a negative charge is moved from A to B, the electric potential energy of the charge
(1) increases
(2) is constant
(3) decreases
1) The electric force is directed to bring the electron closer to the proton. 2) Since the electron ends up further from the proton the electric field did negative work. 3) So the electric potential energy increased

The electric potential at point A is _______ at point B
1) greater than
2) equal to
3) less than
To go from B to A, a positive charge must climb “up hill” – increases potential energy. Hence A is at higher potential than B

Comparison:Electric Potential Energy vs. Electric Potential
• Electric Potential Energy (U) - the energy of a charge at some location.
• Electric Potential (V) - found for a location only – tells what the EPE would be if a charge were located there (usually talk about potential differences between two locations):
U = qV• Neither has direction, just location. Sign
matters!

How much work do you have to do to bring a 2 μ C charge from far away to point A? W=ΔU= ΔVq = 1.26 x 10-2 V
• Calculate electric potential at point A due to charges– Calculate V from +7mC charge– Calculate V from –3.5mC charge– Add (EASY!)
• V = kq/rV7 = 1.26 x 104 VV3 = -0.63 x 104 V
Vtotal = 0.63 x 104 V
