This site from Georgia State University defines electric potential energy and relates it to the concept of electric potential. Discusses the idea of a reference point or a zero potential location.

Physics students find out how to effectively define and clarify kinetic and potential energy.

Students explore the physics utilized by engineers in designing today's roller coasters, including potential and kinetic energy, friction, and gravity. First, students learn that all true roller coasters are completely driven by the...

This site is from the Physics Department at Georgia State University. The reliance upon the law of conservation of energy as an approach to problem-solving is presented and encouraged. It is modeled through a problem involving a...

Definitions of various forms of energy are presented along with a brief scientific history of energy related concepts.

This site is a discussion and animation about whether the total mechanical energy of a cart rolling down an incline is conserved, which can be determined if there are any external forces acting upon it.

Discusses electric forces, electric fields, electric potential, and the role that electric potential plays in enabling materials to pass through a cell membrane.

This activity shows students the engineering importance of understanding the laws of mechanical energy. More specifically, it demonstrates how potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy and back again. Given a pendulum height,...
