Word describing connection between potential and field

Intimately connected as if you know one you can find the other no matter what is known whether potential or field is given first

Nature of electric field lines compared to equipotential lines

Efield lines always point downward so towards decreasing potential and are always perpendicular to equipotential lines where if they are closer than the efield lines are stronger

How Voltage changes with Efield lines

It decreases as voltage is inversely proportional to the distance

Electrostatic equilibrium

With using Gauss's law, the result should be equal to this property of a conductor

Gauss's Law

- Any excess charge on surface is 0 -Interior electric field is 0 -Exterior electric fields is perpendicular to surface -Entire conductor is equipotential

Sources of electric potential

By producing a potential difference in terms of voltage, the separation of positive and negative charges, a source is created where work must be done for the separation unit is V

Charge escalator model

Chemical reactions lift charges form one terminal to another

Capacitor def

Any two electrodes with equal and opposite chargers

Capacitance

Indicator for the capacity of a capacitor to store charge leading us to recognize the electric energy as it is stored in electric field

Dielectric

It's between capacitors that alters the capacitor
