The concept of potential is fundamental in physics. In just a few words, an electric potential is an energy per unit charge. A gravitational potential is an energy per unit mass (mass is the charge of gravity). But what does this really mean?
In this video, we will answer that question by exploring the notion of potential in detail.
First, we will learn about gravitational potential, usually a concept that is more intuitive to most students. After this, we will use this understanding to learn about electric potentials.
We will conclude by discussing the concept of voltage, which is just a difference of electric potential.
00:00:36 - What is a gravitational potential?
00:03:00 - What is an electric potential?
00:04:54 - What is a voltage?
This video involves notions related to electric charges. For a quick refresher on what is an electric charge, check this youtube video:

Hi Anas, I noticed with a vast majority oif my students that they didn't understand what an electric potential is... They get by, by following the rules, but as soon as they are faced with a slightly different problem, they are lost, hence this video! I am glad it helped you with your studies :-)

I am an engineer and I am tutoring my son in physics and maths for his final year at A' level. It has surprised me regardless of using such equations as part of my work, how many of the basic principals behind them I have forgotten. This is a great refresher, and another indication that teaching people requires great thought and skill. Many thanks.

Hi, thank you very much for your comment. I started teaching quite late in my life, around 42 years old. I chose the level of end of high school / early university because I remember as a student, that was the hardest period in my student life. I was lost in physics and maths, although I felt in my guts that was the path I wanted/needed to take. Luckily I managed to get my baccalaureat with 50,04% haha, and then was blessed with fantastic and passionate teachers in my early university that helped me bloom up to the PhD... Of course, the first step in becoming a teacher was to study the current high school programs, under the angle provided by wisdom and serenity that comes with higher age. And, I had so many "haha moments" ! As an engineer , try it, you'll be surprise how much progress you'll make in your own field. High school content in Physics (and maths) is sooooo crucial, and when well understood, very powerful: the way it is approached by the teacher can shape the life and the success (or not) of the student. I remember the horrid and incompetent teachers I had in high school, that nearly destroyed me, and the amazing ones I had in Uni, that really cared... And from that defined my own approach. It all comes to the basics... Once a student understand the physics behind an equation, and can handle at least a little algebra, he or she can truly excel, and bloom. Once on the right intellectual path, there is no place that the student cannot explore by himself. That's why I made teaching my life...

@@PhysicsMadeEasy Thank you very much for your kind response. I enjoy maths and physics more now than I did when I was my son's age. The difference, apart from a mature outlook is, no pressure to pass exams. In my time, there was no internet but great textbooks which I still have. However, I did find the leap between A' Levels and university a very big one, and I really struggled in the first year of my Aeronautical enginnering degree. The amount of practicals, and subjects covered was overwhelming for me. After I graduated I decided to go straight to industry and I have had a great career in the aerospace, and marine industries. I would agree that teaching/tutoring is great fun but requires a lot of preparation and thought in how to communicate the information. It is not easy being a teacher in my opinion, and it is criminal that here in the UK teachers are not given the respect they deserve. Fortunately, I have the benefit of videos such as yours which I use as part of my preparation, and also for my enjoyment. I wish you health, happiness and all the best in your endeavours. Thank you for the knowledge.

Most school textbooks tend to define electric potential the 'tougher' way around. "Potential is the work done.. blah.. blah." Is it necessary to complicate things this much? Why can't they write it the 'natural' way? Kudos to them for complicating a simple notion into an abstruse monster. And Many many thanks to the you, professor! This was a masterpiece!

@@PhysicsMadeEasy I have a quick question. Let’s take a circuit, that has a resister. Let’s also say the voltage of a battery is 9V. Now all the voltage drop is across the resistor. Yet, the circuit keeps moving after the voltage drop.I don’t understand how exactly that is possible. If you have a battery of 9V and and voltage drop across a resistor of 9V, why does electrons keep moving. Would it have already lost all the potential?. A second question as well. When electrons go through a resistor, it loses kinetic energy by collisions with other atoms. Then how can the Amperage entering the resistor equal the amperage out of the resistor?.
@PhysicsMadeEasy
@PhysicsMadeEasy 2 жыл бұрын
@@MarkSmith-vo1vn Hi Mark, your confusion comes from the fact that you consider that the energy provided from the battery is transferred to the Kinetic Energy of the electrons… The energy provided goes to the Potential energy of the charges they carry. Through the resistor, it is the charges that lose energy. Just to give you a perspective. Mass of an electron: around 10^-30Kg, typical drift speed of an electron: around 10^-5 m/s. KE = 0.5mv^2, that’s around 10^-40J. Potential energy (= qV) of the charge carried by an electron, placed at a potential of 9V that’s around 10^-18J. That’s 10 billion trillion times larger. If you want, you can see the electrons continuing to move because they are just pushing each other like dominos… They are kind of “drifting”, hence the term ‘drift speed’. Ina circuit, the energy transfers relates to the PE of the charges.
@MarkSmith-vo1vn
@MarkSmith-vo1vn 2 жыл бұрын
@@PhysicsMadeEasy So all the kinetic energy gets turned into thermal energy. And The electron repulsion gives the potential Therefore the electrons have the same speed. So, then my next question is why doesn't electric potential decrease as you get closer to the protons. Is it because it is all relative to the electrons pushing it. I am kind of confused whether the potential of repulsion or the potential to go to the protons. Or does it balance out. The closer you get to the cathode the further you get from the anode.

Hi Medina, thank you for your comment. I studied some electrochemistry at Uni, a hard topic but one I enjoyed because of it being so borderline between Chemistry and Physics. Then, when I worked as a researcher for a large company, I used my free research time to create an electrochemical lab because I was interested in looking at the impact of chemically induced films (oxides or organic) for the corrosion inhibition on various metals (in pipes for example). I was quite successful at it. The strange thing is that me too, I did not have a good understanding of what an electric potential exactly is. I had made my own idea, close enough for what I was doing, but when I reviewed the school physics programs before starting my teaching career, I realised I hadn’t really understood it. I wish I had, because it would have made me much more powerful in my research: I probably would have won a Nobel prize lol! I also realised that not many people do understand electric potentials. A friend of mine is an experienced electrician, working in that field for years. He worked the electricity of my house ( I paid him for that), One day, I asked him, what does 9 volts means… He only knew the water analogy, but not the real meaning… So your comment did strike a sensitive chord: I am so glad I made you more powerful than I was. This makes me shiver as a teacher:-) ! Good luck and I wish you much enjoyment with the study of this great subject!

This helped a lot. I've been searching for a good explanation of electric potential for a lot of time. I couldn't wrap my head around the idea that a bunch of charges of a battery have a potential. But this video explained that it's more about potential energy that these changes are "making" with their field's. And thank you!

Yes, charges do not have a potential. They are positionned at a location with potential, but themselves do not have potential. Because they are positionned at a location with potential, they get potential energy (work was needed to bring them there). I am glad it clarifies things. Still, can you rephrase your last sentences so I can check that you really got it?

Potential energy is a property of the charge, and potential is the property of the point at which the charge is placed, right?

Hey John, thanks for noticing :-). Indeed, it gives a little air, to have these little interludes outside where what was seen is briefly summarized: It makes it more pleasant to watch, and in the end, might stick better in the viewers head. I should do this on more videos!

Hello Adane. Wow, I am so proud if I can inspire you in taking a teacher's career. It's one of the most wonderful jobs in the world. Actually, I was inspired during my undergraduate years by a teacher in electrochemistry (A topic at the time I hadn't understand). He was a little rough with us students but he was precise and clear. And when things are clear, the subject can now become interesting! That made me want to be like him (even if I am a little more patient with my students than he was, haha)! With you wanting to become a teacher too, maybe the circle is complete :-)!

I watched many professor videos like walter lewin, prof carlson, and many more others. List is huge i could never understood this term properly. But watching this 8 minutes video i felt like how easy physics is you just need a good tutor

Thank you for your very kind words. I am glad that my work helped you out. With all my students, I very much insist on a good understanding of the basics: Bright students can manage without sometimes, by just using the rules, and mimicking standard exercises, but sooner or later they become limited in their ability to understand more advanced concepts and can lose interest in the topic, although they would have become amazing physicists otherwise...
