I spent 2 hours trying to understand the difference between electric potential energy and electric potential by searching through KZbin and other websites. I've noticed that a lot of other science teachers try to draw a comparison between gravitational potential and electric potential for some reason. Maybe it's just me but I think that your way of tackling this concept is much more straightforward and effective than anyone else I've came across. Thank you so much!

if I have an electric field from a negative charge and I placed a positive charge inside filed, the positive charge will have more electric potential when it gets far from the field and less electric potential when it gets closer to the field? am I right? 😅
@stepbystepscience7 жыл бұрын
First of all do you mean electric potential of electric potential energy? Your question is a bit unclear.You can not really get farther from the field. You can get farther from the charge and then the field gets weaker.....

Step-by-Step Science I mean if a proton for example at a distance of 4mm from an electron will have less potential energy than a proton at a distance of 5mm from the same electron? I am sorry if my question is not clear
@mihirbose15325 ай бұрын
@@roaahedaya1779 That's easy bro. The potential energy will be -k(e^2)/r The electrostatic potential energy of a proton 4mm away will be : -k(e^2)/(4*10^ -3) and of a proton 5mm away : -k(e^2)/(5*10^ -3) We can think of the proton and the electron together as a system of charges in both situations and the electrostatic potential Energy ( different from electric potential , which is , the electrostatic potential enerygy / coulomb) will be ( kq1q2/ r) .. -ke^2/r. My bad I'm 6 years late Did I answer you're question though ? Am I wrong ....? Since in the 5mm case it's the same numerator divided by a greater value of r , It'll be lesser for the 5mm situation. That's my take on this. Did you figure it out already ?

@stepbystepscience8 жыл бұрын
+khadija jahan Good question and yes it can be confusing. How about this? Electric potential energy is the potential energy of a group of charges (2 or more) and it is measures in Joules. A lot like gravitational PE. Electric potential is measured in Joules per Coulomb also known as the Volt. It the the potential energy that a Coulomb of charge would have at a point a distance r from another charge. You only need one charge to have potential but you need two or more charges to have potential energy.

If electric potential is a scalar quantity why can it have a negative value? what does it mean?
@stepbystepscience4 жыл бұрын
The negative sign just means that the potential has decreased, it does not give a direction. Potential energy is also a scalar and it can also be negative. I just means that the potential energy has decreased.
