12P02 Electric Potential and Capacitance



Understand how much distance I have to move to cause a voltage difference of 1 V 
a) Far away from the source charge b) Very close to the source charge. 
Connect that finding with Conservative Force / Field concepts
$E= - \frac{dV}{dr} \; \;  F = -\frac{dU}{dr}$


Equipotential Lines for two charges separated by a distance 
a) oppositely charged b) same charged

 



Capacitor Basics
Change the battery voltage and see what happens to 
the charge and the voltage in the capacitor, Q = C V
Change the area and gap between the plates and see what happens 
to the Capacitance value, C = epsilon_o A / d
