Khan Academy: Electric Potential Energy (Part 2 Involves Calculus)

In this video, David from Khan Academy explains how to find the electric potential energy for a system of charges and solves an example problem to find the speed of moving charges. To see the calculus derivation of the formula watch this...

Get introduced to electrical potential energy by relating it to the concept of gravitational potential energy in this video. Learn how to calculate the amount of work it takes to move a charge through an electric field. [12:36]

Does the charge on a particle affect its energy? Scholars first explore how the strength of a charge affect the potential energy. They observe the change in the electric fields as this potential energy changes.

Scholars are sure to get a charge out of an electric lesson! They examine the potential energy of charged particles while they make changes to the electrical field. The simulation allows them to change the position of particles and the...

Explains the electric potential energy difference in a varying field. (Involves Calculus)

Here is a resource that is full of potential energy! Learners manipulate charged objects to convert electric potential to thermal energy using a savvy simulation. The resource includes a variety of charge settings and helpful potential...

Introduction to electric potential energy. [12:37]

The final video in a 10-part series, a resource models and explains potential energy using animated cartoons. Two characters, most likely meant to represet David and Goliath, demonstrate potential energy. A relatively straightforward...

In this video, David from Khan Academy shows how to find the total electric potential at a point in space due to multiple charges.

Review the equations and skills related to gravitational potential energy at large distances, including how to apply conservations laws to objects in orbit.
