    Why Is Electrostatic Potential Independent of Path in a Field?

    "So, if you substitute F = q*E into your work equation, you will find that W = qΔV," Wouldnt u get W=q*E*ds?

    Why Is Electrostatic Potential Independent of Path in a Field?

    I am confused..I am really bad at physics...I don't really know why we can define a gravitational potential energy and why we can't define potential energy for friction. I know there's static and kinetic..but that's pretty much it..

    Why Is Electrostatic Potential Independent of Path in a Field?

    Ahh! That makes sense! Is this what the answer means? This is why it's D?

    Why Is Electrostatic Potential Independent of Path in a Field?

    Well the Formula for Potential Energy is Mass*Gravity*Height...would Height have anything to do with the path taken?
