Why is no work being done if you move a charged particle from point A to point B if they are

both on the same equipotential line?

- The change in the change electric potential is 0 since it the same distance away from the
charged particle in both scenarios

Two point charges have equal magnitude but opposite charges. What is the potential difference
halfway between them?
- 0 since the Electric Potential = E*d and E = 0 since the point is in the middle of both
attracting charges

Draw the gravitational field lines for the Earth both as seen from space and in this room. On your
drawing show equipotential lines.

- dotted lines are equipotential

- Draw the electric field lines for both a positive and a negative point charge. On your 
 drawing show equipotential lines.  

-  
Draw the electric field lines inside a parallel plate capacitor. On your drawing show
equipotential lines. (Isolines of potential). Show both a positive and negative charge in
the field and the force vectors on them.

When mass m is dropped in a gravitational field we know the derived equation for its
speed after falling is v = √2gh . Derive the formula for when a charged particle q travels
through a distance d in an electrical field E. What does the formula look like if we want
it in term of voltage?
- qV = ½mv^2
- Velocity = √(2qV/m)
Two small objects are suspended on strings from a board with a distance of 10 cm
between them. If they are both given a positive charge, describe what happens to them
and the electrical potential energy between them?
- It decreases at they repel away since electric potential energy =qV and V =
k*(q/r), r increases.
What is the direction a proton would feel a force if it is a C? B? What about an Electron
at A? D?
- C and B would fall towards towards the 1V and 3V equipotential lines
respectively while A and D would feel a force towards 3V and 5V
respectively
A particle of charge Q and mass m is accelerated through a potential
difference V, attaining a kinetic energy K. What is the kinetic
energy if it was 2Q and m/2?
- Both charge and mass have a direct relationship with Kinetic energy
so doubling Q and halving M would have no effect on the total kinetic energy.
- qV = ½mv^2 = KE
The figure shows a region of uniform electric field with magnitude 0.2N/C, represented
by the vertical electric field vectors. The dashed horizontal lines represent lines of
uniform electric potential. If an electron is released and moves
.04m, has the potential energy increased or decreased? Has the
potential increased or decreased?
- The electron would move towards lower lines of uniform
electric potential which would increase its voltage as it
decreases the radius (V=k*(q/r)) and increase its electric
potential energy (U=qV)
Rank the electric potential at the three points.
- Y>X>Z
Isolines of the electric potential due to two point charges,
represented by dots, are shown. The point charges have equal
magnitudes and unknown signs. If the electric potential is zero at an
infinite distance from the charges, what do we know about the
electric potential V and the magnitude E of the electric field midway
between the charges?
- Voltage is 0 and since V= Ed, E is also equal to 0
What is happening with the energy of this particle as it follows the dotted
path?
- As the electron gets closer to the positive attractive force it is falling
towards the higher voltages and Potential energy increases as a
result
