7. What condition/s must be met so that the derived equation can be used?
8. What can you say about ΔPEₑₗₑ꜀?

We will now derive the formula for the change in electric potential
energy of a charged object q in a constant electric field E when the
charged object is moved with displacement Ax. (Please refer to Fig. 1)
= FAx (Equation 1)
F = qE (Equation 2)
-W (Equation 3)
W
APEetec
Substituting Eq. 1 in Eq. 3,
APEelec = -FAx (Equation 4)
|
Then subs. Eq. 2 in Eq. 4,
APE elec
- qΕΔx (Εq. 2.1)
Which is what we need to derive.
