Electric Potential Energy and Voltage

Thur. Apr. 13 and Fri. Apr. 14
As we continue to explore static electricity it is important to understand where energy comes from in this realm. Just like a mass gains gravitational potential energy when raised up a height near the earth, a proton can gain electric potential energy when moved near another group of positive or negative charges. In class we read about this process and answered some questions. Two documents are available here and on the Documents tab.
