Term

Potential, V, at every point with multiple charges

Definition

With multiple charges (q1, q2), the electrical potential at a point in space is the sum of all the potentials due to each charge as depicted by V= sumi x 1/4pieeo x qi/ri

Term

Symbol of distance meaning

Definition

ri is the distance from the charge q to the point where the potential is being calculated as potential obeys the laws of superposition, like the electric field

Term

Contour and elevation graphs representation in terms of the potential of the dipoles

Definition

Sum of the positive and negative charges with leading to numerous applications as the result with the measurement of the equipotential lines in comparison to fields
