Lesson 2 · public · Unit 10

Potential and capacitance

Potential is a scalar. Capacitance is not the amount of charge. Two capacitors that look similar are not the same constraint. Independent check included.

Predict

A uniform field points left. A negative charge is released from rest. It will move

right, toward higher potential.left, because everything follows the field arrows.not at all, because potential is a scalar.in a circle around an equipotential.

Commit before the explanation is shown. This is a prediction, not a mastery item.
