Electrostatic Potential And Capacitance

Electrostatic Potential energy 

  • Work done by an external force in bringing a charge q from a point R to a point P in electric field of a certain charge configuration is UP-UR, which is the difference in potential energy of charge q between the final and initial points.

  • Potential energy at a point is the work done by an external force in moving a charge from infinity to that point.

Electrostatic Potential 

  • Electrostatic potential at any point in a region of electrostatic field is the minimum work done in carrying a unit positive charge (without acceleration) from infinity to that point.
  • Electric potential due to a point charge of magnitude q at a distance r from the charge is given as V=q4πε0r

  • Potential difference between two points P and R can…
