Key ideas of field and electrical potential

Definition

Electric field and potential are based off on force and potential in a similar relationship as the two aren't distinct entities with the close relation, as they are simply two ways in which source charges alter the space around them

Term

Using potential energy of charge q and source charges to define potential as

Definition

V= Uq+other sources/q

Term

Work and potential energy defining relationship

Definition

Potential energy is defined in terms of work done by force on charge q as it moves from position i to f deltaU= -W(i->f) = - integral of si to sf (Fsds)= -integral of i to f (vector of F times vector of displacement) s=> poisiton along a line from point f to point i
