Common Mistakes to Avoid

Electric potential and electric potential energy are the same thing.

If the electric field at a point is zero, then the electric potential at that point must also be zero.

In a series combination of capacitors, the capacitor with the largest capacitance stores the most charge.

Memory Tips

Electric Potential — Definition and Meaning

1 Volt = 1 Joule / 1 Coulomb

Electric Potential due to a Point Charge: V = kq/r

Electric Potential due to a Dipole: V = p cosθ / (4πε₀r²)
