Using parallel plates and a uniform electric field, you will see where the equation ΔV = −EΔr comes from and why electric potential difference exists even without a charge present. We also work through a full example using energy conservation to find the speed of a charged particle moving between plates, including a discussion of sign conventions, positive and negative charges, and what makes a situation physically impossible. This lesson is ideal for AP Physics 2, AP Physics C: Electricity an Magnetism, and introductory college physics students who want to truly understand electric potential difference, voltage, and electric fields rather than just memorize equations.\n
