DESCRIPTION
Electric Potential Energy Electrical potential energy is the energy contained in a configuration of charges. Like all potential energies, when it goes up the configuration is less stable; when it goes down, the configuration is more stable. The unit is the Joule FCI3TRANSCRIPT

Electric Potential EnergyElectrical potential energy is the energy
contained in a configuration of charges. Like all potential energies, when it goes up the configuration is less stable; when it goes down, the configuration is more stable.
The unit is the Joule.

Potential difference and electric potentialThe potential difference ∆V = VB - VA between
two points A and B in an electric field is defined as the change in potential energy of the system when a test charge is moved between the points divided by the test charge qo:

The electric potential is a measure of potential energy per unit charge, the SI unit of both electric potential and potential difference is joules per coulomb, which is defined as a volt (V)
7-10-2015 FCI 5
that the SI unit of electric field (N/C) can also be expressed in volts per meter:

Electric Field and Electric Potential
E = - V / dTwo things about E and V: The electric field points in the direction of
decreasing electric potential.The electric field is always perpendicular to
the equipotential surface.
