  • Boundless
  • Boundless

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

  • 18.1: Overview
    Electric potential and field are related in that potential is a property of the field that describes the field’s action.
  • 18.2: Equipotential Surfaces and Lines
    An ideal conductor exists only in the world of theory; it has “ideal” properties that make calculations easy to perform.
  • 18.3: Point Charge
    The electric potential of a point charge Q is given by V = kQ/r.
  • 18.4: Capacitors and Dielectrics
    Capacitance is the measure of an object’s ability to store electric charge.
  • 18.5: Applications
    A cathode ray tube consists of a vacuum tube that contains one or more electron guns used to excite phosphors on a screen to produce images.
