Concept #1: Relationships Between Force, Field, Energy, Potential

Example #1: Potential at Center of Charges in a Square

Practice: A -2C charge lies at rest. (a) What is the potential difference between point A, which is 1.5m from the charge, and point B, which is 4m from the charge? (b) What would the work on a 4C charge be to move it from A to B?

Example #2: Potential Difference Between Two Charges

Example #3: Distance to Stop a Point Charge
