Using potentials instead of fields can make solving problems much easier – potential is a scalar quantity, whereas the field is a vector.

Steps to Determine the Potential Created by a Uniform Charge Distributions
Graphical:
Draw a picture of the object and 3-D plane.
Label the partial length, area, or volume that is creating the partial potential.
Determine the distance from the charged object to the location of the desired potential and label all components and lengths. Mathematical:
Write the formula for V(dq). Note: Because potential is scalar, there is no need to resolve any components.
Write the total charge density and solve it for Q.
Write the charge density in relation to the partial charge and solve it for the partial charge (dq).
Set up the integral by determining what key component(s) change.
†Solve the integral and write the answer in a concise manner. †See the instructor, AP Calculus BC students, or Schaum’s Mathematical Handbook.

21. Determine E from V Recall that V is the area under the E(r) graph,
HOW DO WE APPLY DIFFERENTIATION TO ELECTRIC POTENTIALS TO DETERMINE THE ELECTRIC FIELD?
Determine E from V
Recall that V is the area under the E(r) graph,
Therefore, E is the slope of the V(r) or V(x,y,z) graph
Therefore dV is the infinitesimal difference in potential between two points a distance dl apart, and El is the component of the electric field in the direction of the infinitesimal displacement dl.
The component of the electric field in any direction is equal to the negative of the rate of change of the electric potential with distance in that direction.
The quantity dV/dl is called the gradient of V in a particular direction.
If the direction is not specified, the term gradient refers to that direction in which V changes the most rapidly; This would be the direction of E at that point

22. HOW DO WE APPLY DIFFERENTIATION TO ELECTRIC POTENTIALS TO DETERMINE THE ELECTRIC FIELD?
Determine E from V
We use the gradient to solve for E from V
Where the V is the area under the E(r) curve,
E is the slope of the V(r) or V(x,y,z) curve
Therefore dV is the infinitesimal difference in potential between two points a distance dl apart, and El is the component of the electric field in the direction of the infinitesimal displacement dl.
The component of the electric field in any direction is equal to the negative of the rate of change of the electric potential with distance in that direction.

If the direction is not specified, the term gradient refers to that direction in which V changes the most rapidly; This would be the direction of E at that point

29. Work Required to Move Charges
HOW DO WE DESCRIBE AND APPLY THE POTENTIAL FUNCTION FOR A POINT CHARGE?
Work Required to Move Charges
So far, we have discussed the work done by the electric field to move a positive test charge in the direction of the electric field (possibly to infinity and beyond)
Examples:

Now we will look at the external work required to move a positive test charge in the opposite direction of the electric field and therefore storing electrical potential energy.
Lifting a ball in the air.
A roller coaster ascending the initial hill.
