If a proton is released from rest in an electric field, will it move in the direction of increasing or decreasing potential? Also answer this question for an electron and a neutron. Explain why.
Rank the electric potential energies of the systems of charges shown in Figure OQ20.13 from largest to smallest. Indicate equalities if appropriate. Figure OQ20.13
In Franklins time, a device for storing electric potential energy was called a Leyden jar. Today, we call that device a capacitor. Another term that is sometimes used is condenser. What ideas do these three terms bring to mind? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?
Would electric potential energy be meaningful if the electric field were not conservative?
An air-filled parallel-plate capacitor is charged to a certain potential difference. A dielectric is then inserted in the capacitor to completely fill the space between the plates. Then the charge on the plates is increased by a factor of three to restore the original potential difference. Determine the dielectric constant.
Voltage is the common word for potential difference. Which term is more descriptive, voltage or potential difference?
