Electric charge, field, and potential

This course contains 3 segments:

Charge and electric force (Coulomb's law)

This course contains 3 segments:

Charge and electric force (Coulomb's law)

In these videos and articles the definition of electric charge will be given as well as a discussion of the law of conservation of charge. You'll learn how Coulomb's law relates the electric force to charge and separation distance. The difference between an electrically conducting vs. electrically insulating material will also be discussed.

Electric field

In these videos and articles you'll learn what an electric field is and how to calculate the value of the electric field for a point charge and an infinite sheet.

Electric potential energy, electric potential, and voltage

In these videos and articles you'll learn the difference between electric potential, electric potential energy, and voltage. You'll also learn how to calculate the electric potential at a point in space, electric potential energy between two charges, and voltage between two points in space.
