Calculate Electric Potential





Formula

The formula to calculate the Electric Potential Energy (EP) is:

\[ EP = q \cdot E \cdot d \]

Where:

What is Electric Potential Energy?

Electric potential energy is a specific type of potential energy that arises from the potential of a point charge to be moved by an electric field. It is the energy that a charge has due to its position in an electric field.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Using the formula to calculate the Electric Potential Energy:

\[ EP = 2 \cdot 5 \cdot 3 = 30 \text{ J} \]

This means that the electric potential energy for this example is 30 Joules.
