The PHY 2048 Brain
Partition
To move the mass m from the ground to
a point a distance h above the ground
requires that work be done on the particle.

W is the work done by an external force.
mgh represents this amount of work and
is the POTENTIAL ENERGY of the mass
at position h above the ground.
A
The reference level, in this case, was chosen
as the ground but since we only deal with
differences between Potential Energy Values,
we could have chosen another reference.
Let’s Recall Some more PHY2048
A mass is dropped from a height h above the
ground. What is it’s velocity when it strikes
the ground?
We use conservation of energy to compute the answer.

Energy Methods
Often easier to apply than to
solve directly Newton’s law
equations.
Only works for conservative
forces.
One has to be careful with
SIGNS.
VERY CAREFUL!
I need some help.
THINK ABOUT THIS!!!
When an object is moved from one
point to another in an Electric Field,
It takes energy (work) to move it.
This work can be done by an external
force (you).
You can also think of this as the
FIELD doing the negative of this
amount of work on the particle.
Let’s look at it:
move a mass from yi to yf
Change in potential energy due to external force:
yf
Negative of the work done BY THE FIELD.
External
Field
yi
W force dist .
W mg ( y f yi ) ( PE )
W (mg ) ( y f yi ) ( PE )
Keep it!
Move It!
Move the charge at constant velocity
so it is in mechanical equilibrium all
the time.
Ignore the acceleration at the
beginning because you have to do the
same amount of negative work to
stop it when you get there.
And also remember:
The net work done by a conservative (field)
force on a particle moving
around a closed path is
ZERO!
A nice landscape
Work done by external force = mgh
How much work here by
gravitational field?
h
mg
The gravitational case:
Someone else’s path
IMPORTANT
The work necessary for an
external agent to move a charge
from an initial point to a final
point is INDEPENDENT OF THE
PATH CHOSEN!
The Electric Field
Is a conservative field.
No frictional losses, etc.
Is created by charges.
When one (external agent) moves a test charge
from one point in a field to another, the
external agent must do work.
This work is equal to the increase in potential
energy of the charge.
It is also the NEGATIVE of the work done BY
THE FIELD in moving the charge from the
same points.
A few things to remember…
A conservative force is NOT a Republican.
An External Agent is NOT 007.
Electric Potential Energy
When an electrostatic force acts
between two or more charged
particles, we can assign an
ELECTRIC POTENTIAL ENERGY U to
the system.
Example: NOTATION U=PE
HIGH U
LOWER U
E
q
F
A
B
d
Work done by FIELD is Fd
Negative of the work done by the FIELD is -Fd
Change in Potential Energy is also –Fd.
The charge sort-of “fell” to lower potential energy.
Gravity
Negative of the work done by the FIELD is –mg h = U
mg
Bottom Line:
Things tend to fall down and lower
their potential energy. The change,
Uf – Ui is NEGATIVE!
Electrons have those *&#^ negative
signs.
Electrons sometimes seem to be more difficult
to deal with because of their negative charge.
They “seem” to go from low potential energy to
high.
They DO!
They always fall AGAINST the field!
Strange little things. But if YOU were
negative, you would be a little strange too!
An Important Example
Designed to Create Confusion
or Understanding … Your Choice!
The change in potential energy
Final position of the electron is the negative of the work
done by the field in moving the electron
from the initial position to the final
position.

An important point
In calculating the change in potential
energy, we do not allow the charge to gain
any kinetic energy.
We do this by holding it back.
That is why we do EXTERNAL work.
When we just release a charge in an
electric field, it WILL gain kinetic energy …
as you will find out in the problems!
Remember the demo!
AN IMPORTANT DEFINITION
Just as the ELECTRIC FIELD was
defined as the FORCE per UNIT

We define ELECTRICAL POTENTIAL as
the POTENTIAL ENERGY PER UNIT

The electric potential difference V between two points I and f in
the electric field is equal to the energy PER UNIT CHARGE

Where W is the work done BY THE FIELD in moving the charge from
One point to the other.
Let’s move a charge from one point
to another via an external force.
The external force
does work on the
particle.
The ELECTRIC FIELD
also does work on
the particle.
We move the
particle from point i
to point f.
The change in
kinetic energy is
equal to the work
done by the applied
forces.

The Equipotential Surface
DEFINED BY
V 0
It takes NO work to move a charged particle
between two points at the same potential.
The locus of all possible points that require NO
WORK to move the charge to is actually a surface.

Typical Situation
A Brief Review of Concept
The creation of a charged particle distribution
creates ELECTRICAL POTENTIAL ENERGY =
U.
If a system changes from an initial state i to a
final state f, the electrostatic forces do work
W on the system
U U f U i W
This is the NEGATIVE of the work done by the
field.
Calculation
E
q
i
f
• An external force F is necessary to move the
charge q from i to f. The work done by this
external force is also equal to the change in
potential energy of the charged particle. Note
the (-) sign is because F and E are in opposite
directions.
U Fx qEx
• Continuous case:
U Fexternaldx
For Convenience
It is often convenient to set up a
particular reference potential.
For charged particles interacting with each
other, we take U=0 when the particles are
infinitely apart.
Consequently U=(-) of the work done by
the field in moving a particle from infinity
to the point in question.
Keep in Mind
W F d
Force and Displacement are
VECTORS!
Potential is a SCALAR.
UNITS
1 VOLT = 1 Joule/Coulomb
For the electric field, the units of N/C can
be converted to:
1 (N/C) = 1 (N/C) x 1(V/(J/C)) x 1J/(1 NM)
Or
1 N/C = 1 V/m
So an acceptable unit for the electric field is
now Volts/meter. N/C is still correct as
well.
In Atomic Physics
It is useful to define an energy in eV or
electron volts.
One eV is the additional energy that an
proton charge would get if it were
accelerated through a potential
difference of one volt.
1 eV = e x 1V = (1.6 x 10-19C) x 1(J/C) =
1.6 x 10-19 Joules.

Integration
There are many applications of
integration in physics.
We use it to add things up over an
area, a line, or perhaps a volume.
We often use density functions.
The Examples we will use will be
charge densities.

When you have to integrate
over dA
Pick a friendly coordinate system..
Use the appropriate dA
Don’t forget the function s or may
be functions of position. The
coordinate system that you choose
should match the symmetry of these
two functions.

A Few Problems
A particular 12 V car battery can send a total
charge of 81 A · h (ampere-hours) through a
circuit, from one terminal to the other.
(a) How many coulombs of charge does this
represent?
Sometimes you need to look things up …
1 ampere is 1 coulomb per second.
81 (coulombs/sec) hour = 81 x (C/s) x 3600 sec
= 2.9 e +5
(b) If this entire charge undergoes a potential
difference of 12 V, how much energy is involved?
qV=2.9 e 05 x 12=3.5 e+6
An infinite nonconducting sheet has a surface charge
density = 0.10 µC/m2 on one side. How far apart are

In a given lightning flash, the potential difference
between a cloud and the ground is 2.3x 109 V and the
quantity of charge transferred is 43 C.
(a) What is the change in energy of that
transferred charge? (GJ)
Energy = qV= 2.3 e+09 x 43C=98.9 GJ
(b) If all the energy released by the transfer could
be used to accelerate a 1000 kg automobile from

Size Matters!

Voltage across one of these capacitors ie
either zero or the power source voltage (5.3

Another Way to Think About This
There is an original charge q on the
capacitor.
If you slide the dielectric into the capacitor,
you are adding no additional STORED
charge. Just moving some charge around in
the dielectric material.
If you short the capacitors with your
fingers, only the original charge on the
capacitor can burn your fingers to a crisp!
The charge in q=CV must therefore be the
free charge on the metal plates of the
capacitor.
A Closer Look at this stuff..

When the dielectric is inserted, no charge
is added so the charge must be the same.

Important Result
Electric Field is
Reduced by the
presence of the
material .
The material
reduces the field
by a factor k.
