What to Focus On
- Electrostatic force is conservative.
- Work done by the external force equals change in potential energy.
- Potential energy is defined only up to an additive constant.
- Potential is work done per unit positive test charge.
- Potential difference is physically significant.
- Potential is scalar.
- Potential of a point charge varies as 1/r.
- Sign of potential follows the sign of charge.
- Potentials from several charges add algebraically.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Electrostatic potential and potential energy are the same quantity.
Work done in moving a charge between two points depends on the path taken.
The potential due to a point charge is always positive.
Memory Tips
Electrostatic force is conservative
Work done by external force from R to P
Potential at a point due to a point charge
Potential of a dipole at large distance
