6.  L =  0 /2 Charged conducting plate  R =  0 /2 What is the electric field inside the conductor? E R =  R /2  0 =  0 /4  0

7.  L =  0 /2 Charged conducting plate  R =  0 /2 What is the electric field inside the conductor? The electric field is zero everywhere inside the conductor. Always, any conductor, no exceptions.

8. q=+1C What happens if I let it go?

9. KE = 0KE = 100 J A B Assume the particle gains 100 joules of kinetic energy as it moves from A to B. q=+1C

10. A B Now I stop it at B. How much work must I do to move it back to A? +100 J How does the potential energy change in moving from B to A? +100 J  PE BA = +100 J  PE AB = -100 J q=+1C

12. A B Now we are back to our original definition.  PE BA = (+100 J/C)x(q)  V BA tells us how much PE changes when +1C is moved from B to A.  PE BA =  V BA q  V BA = +100 J/C q=+1C

15. A B What if q= -1C? How much work must I do to move it back to A? -100 J How does the potential energy change in moving from B to A? -100 J  PE BA = (+100 J/C)x(q)  PE BA = (+100 J/C)x(-1)  V BA does not depend on the sign of the point charge but  PE BA does!!!!!  PE BA =  V BA q q= -1C
