Potential Energy Work done by the gravitational force: Work done by the electric force: WAB = GPEA - GPEB WAB = EPEA - EPEB
Definition of Electric Potential The electric potential V at a given point is the electric potential energy EPE of a small test charge q0 situated at that point divided by the charge itself: SI Unit of Electric Potential: joule/coulomb = volt (V) It is a scalar
Electric Potential Difference Work done by the electric force:
Electron Volt (eV) Charges can be accelerated using electric potential difference: One electron volt is the amount by which the potential energy of an electron (q0 = 1.60 10-19 C) changes when the electron moves through a potential difference of one volt. It is a unit of energy. 1 eV = 1.60 10-19 J

An equipotential surface is a Surface on which the Electric Potential is the same everywhere.

Equipotential Surfaces Between Two Charged Parallel Plates
Capacitance,C of a Capacitor Capacitor, also known as a condenser is a device where electrical charge can be stored. Capacitors are important components in radio and television circuits, automobile ignition systems, computer hardware and keyboard, defibrillators, and electronic flash units. q C = . V The SI unit of capacitance is farad, after Michael Faraday. 1 farad = 1 C/V. The farad is a large unit. In practice microfarad ( F = 10-6F) and picofarad (pF = 10-12F) are used.
Capacitance of a Parallel Plate Capacitor A = . C 0d =dielectric of dielectric constant, 0 = 8.85 10-12 C2/N.m2, is the permittivity of free space.

Combining Capacitors: Series and Parallel
Applications of Capacitors RAM chips Computer keyboard Electronic flash in a camera Defibrillator
Random-access Memory (RAM) Chips. A single RAM chip often contains millions of transistor capacitor units. The address line is used by the computer to locate a particular transistor capacitor combination, and the data line carries the data to be stored. A pulse on the address line turns on the transistor switch. With the switch turned on, a pulse coming in on the data line can cause the capacitor to charge. A charged capacitor means that a one has been stored, while an uncharged capacitor means that a zero has been stored.

Defibrillator A defibrillator uses the electrical energy stored in a capacitor to deliver a controlled electric current that can restore normal heart rhythm in a heart attack victim.

Electrocardiography (EKG) The potential differences generated by heart muscle activity provide the basis for electrocardiography.
Electroencephalography (EEG) An electroencephalography is used to characterize brain behavior.
Electroretinography (ERG) The electrical characteristics of the retina of the eye lead to the potential differences measured in electroretinography.
