What to Focus On

  • Electric potential is a scalar quantity measured in volts.
  • Potential difference is the work done per unit charge.
  • The electric field is the negative potential gradient.
  • Potential due to a point charge is inversely proportional to distance.
  • Potential due to a dipole is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.
  • On the equatorial line of a dipole, the potential is zero.
  • Potential energy is the work done to assemble charges.
  • Like charges have positive potential energy; unlike charges have negative.
  • Dipole in an electric field has minimum energy when aligned with the field.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Electric potential is a vector quantity like electric field, so it has direction.

If electric field is zero at a point, electric potential must also be zero there.

Potential energy of a charge system is always positive.

Memory Tips

Electric potential is work done per unit charge to bring a test charge from infinity to a point

Potential due to a point charge: V = (1/4πε₀)(q/r)

Potential due to dipole on axial line: V = (p cosθ)/(4πε₀r²)

On equatorial line, electric potential due to dipole is zero
