9.3 Conservation of Electric Energy

Describe changes in a system due to a difference in electric potential between two locations.

• When a charged object moves between two locations with different electric potentials, the resulting change in the electric potential energy of the object-field system is given by the following equation. Relevant equation:
• The movement of a charged object between two points with different electric potentials results in a change in kinetic energy of the object consistent with the conservation of energy. TOPIC 10.1 Electrostatics with Conductors Course Return to T able of Cont © 2026 College Boar ents d Framework V.1
