Electric Potential and Potential Difference

V = W/q₀

V_AB = (V_B - V_A) = W_AB / q₀

V = (1/4πε₀) × (q/r)

V = Σ (qᵢ / 4πε₀rᵢ)

V_dipole = p cosθ / (4πε₀r²)

Potential Energy of Charge Systems

U = q₁q₂ / (4πε₀r₁₂)

U = (1/4πε₀) × [q₁q₂/r₁₂ + q₁q₃/r₁₃ + q₂q₃/r₂₃]

U₀ = -pE cosθ = -p·E

Capacitance and Capacitors

C = Q/V

C_sphere = 4πε₀r = r / (9×10⁹)

C₀ = ε₀A/d

C = Kε₀A/d = KC₀
