PEg
Energi
When an object is at some height in a gravitational field it is said to have gravitational energi potensial, PEg
Energi
Like gravitational fields causing masses to have energi potensial, Electric Fields cause charges to have electric energi potensial, PEE PEE is a type of mechanical energi MEtotal = KE + PEg + PEs + PEE
Energi
To give something PE you must do work (apply force over a distance) on the something (raising up in g-field) For PEE to occur a FE must be applied by either a. An E-Field (uniform) b. A pair of charges

Electric Potential
Any point in an electric field is said to have Electric Potential, V. However, only a Difference V PE in PE is measurable q (remember zero point) so we talk of electric potential unit Volt, V difference AKA potential J difference, V. 1V=1

Capacitor
A capacitor is a storehouse of charge dan energi that can be reclaimed when needed for a specific application A capacitor will only charge to the potential difference between the terminals of the battery
Capacitance
Capacitance, C: The ability of a conductor to store energi in the form of electrically separated charges Capacitance is the ratio of charge to potential difference
