Potential DIfference Path Independence, claimed by Aditya Mohile
CLAIMED BY KYLE JAWORSKI (FALL 2017)
The Main Idea
The voltage between 2 points does not depend on the path taken to travel from one point to another.
A Mathematical Understanding
- [math]\displaystyle{ \Delta V_{AB}= - \int^B_A \vec{E} \cdot d\vec{l} }[/math]
The potential difference from A to B is found by integrating the electric field with respect to the distance between the two points.
