Electric Potential is the potential energy associated with interacting charged particles that create electric fields and impact each other through these fields. Electric potential is found by travleing across a path through a uniform or nonuniform electric field.

Short Description of Topic

Potential energy can be thought of as the energy that is stored within a system that will soon be utilized for some other action. It is the opposite of kinetic energy, which is the energy associated with something in motion. For studying electric potential of charged particles, we first need to understand that sigle particles themselves dont really have potential energy. When we analyze a system for electric potential, we need to choose a a system containing one or more objects/particle/etc.. The potential energy will be derived from the interactions between the objects within our system. On the other hand, kineic energy will be related to the work done by the surroundings of the system.This value can be changed if the work done is positive or negative. Therefore, the change in kineic energy of our system must be equal to the work done by the surroundings. Work can be derived by calculating the dot product of the force and displacement. Potential energy is asscociated with the internal work of the system, that is, work that is done by objects counted within the system. Therefore, the potential energy change of a system is equal to the negative interior work. Now, to put all this together, we have the conservation of energy rule. This states that energy cannot be created or destroyed between events of interacting objects. That is why delta K plus delta U must be zero.

==The Main Idea==

When calculating the changes in potential energy of a system, it would be useful to find a quantity that is unique from the charge of out particle. After finding this variable, we can multiply it by the charge to get or delta U. Regardelss of whether our particle is a proton or electron, our change in potential energy formula boils down to ''(some charge)*(-Ex*deltaX)''. The part that is the same in both cases is the Ex times deltaX. This is called the difference of electric potential between 2 locations. This value is usually notated as DeltaV, with units of volts.

===A Mathematical Model===

Finding Potential Differences in Uniform Fields.
DeltaV = -Efield (dot product) deltaL
Remember that dot product of 2 vetors = (magnitude of vector1)*(magnitude of vector 2)*cos(angle between them)

How to determine the sign of potential difference:
If your path that you are considering goes in the same direction as the electric field, the sign will be negative (-)
If your path goes in the opposite direction of the electric field, the sign will be positive. (+)
If the path is perpendicular to the electric field, it will be zero.

Finding deltaV in nonuniform Fields:
DeltaV = -integral from (initial position to final position) of [Efield dot product deltaL]

'''Some Key Points'''
- In a conductor we know that the electric field is zero. Therefore, the potential difference is zero as well(since it is constant everywhere).
- The potential difference between 2 locations does not depend on the path taken between the locations.
- Round Trip Potential Difference is always zero, If you start your path from a certain points and end your path at the same point, deltaV will be zero.
- In an insultor, the electric field is (Eapplied/K)m where K is a dielectric constant.Therefore, DeltaV = (deltaV inside vaccum)/K

A proton is located at the origin. Location C is 1e-10 m away from the proton, and location D is 2e-8 m from the proton, along a straight line radially outward. First, find the potential difference from C to D. Then find how much work would be required to move an electron from location C to D.

#How is this topic connected to something that you are interested in?
I am interested in robotic systems and building circuit boards/ electrical systems for manufacturing robots.
While studying this section in the book, I was able to connect back many of the concepts and calculations back to
robotics and electrical component of autmated systems.

#How is it connected to your major?
I am a Mechanical Engineering major, so I will be dealing with electrical components of machines when I work. Therefore, I have to know these
certain concepts such as electric potential in order to fully understand how they work and interact.

#Is there an interesting industrial application?
Electrical Potential is used to find the voltage across a path. This is useful when working with circuit comppnents and attempting to manupulate the power output or current throught a component.

==History==

The idea of electric potential kind of started with Ben Franklin and his experiments in the 1740s. He began to understand the flow of electricity, which eventually paved the path towards explaining electric potential and potential difference. Scientist finally began understading how electric fields were actually affecting the surrounding environment and other charges.
Benjamin Franklin first shocked himself in 1746, while conducting experiments on electricity with found objects from around his house. Six years later 261 years ago, the founding father flew a kite attached to a key and a silk ribbon in a thunderstorm and effectively trapped lightning in a jar. The experiment is now seen as a watershed moment in mankind's venture to channel a force of nature so abstract.

By the time Franklin started experimenting with electricity, he'd already found fame and fortune as the author of Poor Richard's Almanack and was starting to get into science. Electricity wasn't a very well understood phenomenon at that point, though, so Franklin's research proved to be fairly foundational. The early experiments, experts believe, were inspired by other scientists' work and the shortcomings therein.

That early brush with the dangers of electricity left an impression on Franklin. He described the sensation as "a universal blow throughout my whole body from head to foot, which seemed within as well as without; after which the first thing I took notice of was a violent quick shaking of my body." However, it didn't scare him away. In the handful of years before his famous kite experiment, Franklin contributed everything from designing the first battery designs to establishing some common nomenclature in the study of electricity.

Short Description of Topic

==The Main Idea==

State, in your own words, the main idea for this topic
Electric Field of Capacitor

===A Mathematical Model===

What are the mathematical equations that allow us to model this topic. For example <math>{\frac{d\vec{p}}{dt}}_{system} = \vec{F}_{net}</math> where '''p''' is the momentum of the system and '''F''' is the net force from the surroundings.

===A Computational Model===

How do we visualize or predict using this topic. Consider embedding some vpython code here [https://trinket.io/glowscript/31d0f9ad9e Teach hands-on with GlowScript]

==Examples==

Be sure to show all steps in your solution and include diagrams whenever possible

Welcome to the Georgia Tech Wiki for Intro Physics. This resources was created so that students can contribute and curate content to help those with limited or no access to a textbook. When reading this website, please correct any errors you may come across. If you read something that isn't clear, please consider revising it!

Looking to make a contribution?
#Pick a specific topic from intro physics
#Add that topic, as a link to a new page, under the appropriate category listed below by editing this page.
#Copy and paste the default [[Template]] into your new page and start editing.

Please remember that this is not a textbook and you are not limited to expressing your ideas with only text and equations. Whenever possible embed: pictures, videos, diagrams, simulations, computational models (e.g. Glowscript), and whatever content you think makes learning physics easier for other students.

== Organizing Catagories ==
These are the broad, overarching categories, that we cover in two semester of introductory physics. You can add subcategories or make a new category as needed. A single topic should direct readers to a page in one of these catagories.
