1 Electric Potential Electric forces are conservative. Work done by an electric force is W=-q o Ed  U=-W

2 Figure 20-1 Change in Electric Potential Energy

3 Electric Potential Definition of Electric Potential V

4 Electric Potential When working with electric potential we measure only changes in electric potential.  he zero point can be set arbitrarily.

5 Figure 20-2 Electric Field and Electric Potential

6 Electric Potential Electric field and the rate of change of electric potential.

7 Electric Potential Electric potential of point charges.

8 Solve problems 1-7, 16-19, and 21-24 on pages 672 and 673.

9 Electric fields around conductors Excess electric charges move to the surface of a conductor because that is where they are least affected by the internal charges of the material.

10 Figure 19-18 Charge Distribution on a Conducting Sphere

11 Electric fields around conductors When electric charges are at rest, the electric field within a conductor is zero. This works even if the conductor has an internal cavity.

12 Figure 19-19 Electric Field Near a Conducting Surface

13 Electric fields around conductors Electric field lines enter conductor surfaces at right angles.

14 Figure 19-21 Shielding Works in Only One Direction

15 Figure 19-20 Intense Electric Field Near a Sharp Point

16 Electric fields around conductors Electric field lines are more intense near a sharp point.

25 A dielectric material is an insulator that increases the capacitance of a capacitor when placed between the plates. Each material has a dielectric constant  not to be confused with k.(p 665)
