Why was that concept necessary ?, I know there's also a gravitational equivalent of this concept
I couldn't find anything on google
Thanks

What do you expect as an answer? God? Nature? Maxwell? The concept explains the phenomena, so it was accepted.Anti Hydrogen said:Why was that concept necessary ?, I know there's also a gravitational equivalent of this concept

There are often two alternative approaches to a problem. One involves Forces and the other involves Energy and Work. Very often, it's the Energy based approach that is quickest and easiest. A voltmeter tells you the potential difference between two points in a circuit. Use that information to find out what the circuit will do and you're home and dry. If you try to do the equivalent, using the Electric Fields all around the components and wires, you'd still be working it out by Christmas.Anti Hydrogen said:Why was that concept necessary ?
If you don't like it, don't use it. But if you go that route, I don't recommend you ever try to do any circuit analysis. See post #4Anti Hydrogen said:Why was that concept necessary ?
Michael Faraday starting in 1812 then in 1832, he completed a series of experiments aimed at investigating the fundamental nature of electricity; Faraday used "static", batteries, and "animal electricity" to produce the phenomena of electrostatic attraction, electrolysis, magnetism, etc.Who was the first person to appreciate the value and usefulness of normalizing electric potential energy to each charge carrier?
Who invented electric potential and why?fresh_42 said:What do you expect as an answer? God? Nature? Maxwell? The concept explains the phenomena, so it was accepted.
The concept of electric potential was first introduced by Italian physicist Alessandro Volta in the late 18th century. However, the mathematical formulation of electric potential was developed by French physicist Charles-Augustin de Coulomb.
Electric potential was invented to explain the behavior of electric charges in a given electric field. It helps us understand how electric charges interact with each other and with electric fields, and is a fundamental concept in the study of electricity and magnetism.
The concept of electric potential was discovered through experiments with electric charges and electric fields. Alessandro Volta and Charles-Augustin de Coulomb conducted experiments to understand the relationship between electric charges and electric fields, which led to the discovery of electric potential.
Electric potential is significant because it helps us understand and predict the behavior of electric charges in a given electric field. It is also a key concept in the study of circuits and electrical engineering, and has numerous practical applications in our daily lives.
The concept of electric potential has evolved significantly since its initial discovery. It has been refined and expanded upon by many scientists, including Michael Faraday, James Clerk Maxwell, and Albert Einstein. Today, it is a fundamental concept in the field of electromagnetism and has numerous applications in technology and science.
