The Attempt at a Solution
is it the same as a proton charge? 1.6e-19
Electric potential is the amount of electrical potential energy per unit charge at a specific point in an electric field. It is measured in volts (V).
Electric potential is a scalar quantity that represents the potential energy of a charge at a specific point. Electric field, on the other hand, is a vector quantity that represents the force experienced by a charge at a specific point.
Electric potential is calculated using the equation V = kQ/r, where V is the electric potential, k is the Coulomb's constant, Q is the charge, and r is the distance from the charge.
Electric potential energy is the energy that a charge possesses due to its position in an electric field. Electric potential is the potential energy per unit charge, so the relationship between the two is V = U/Q, where V is the electric potential, U is the electric potential energy, and Q is the charge.
Yes, electric potential can be negative. This indicates that the electric field is attracting the charge towards a region of lower potential energy.
