What Is the Difference Between Electric Potential Energy and Electric Potential? | Physics in Motion

We differentiate between the concepts of electric potential energy and electric potential by exploring electric potential energy qualitatively, by looking at a charge between two parallel plates, and by solving for electric potential in an example problem.

This is the best video I've seen thus far! So clear to understand. Thanks

[@ghanshyamlalmeena1662]

I agreed

[@lisaa23581]

I couldn't understand it from my books, this video saved my life 😭

[@pistolpete487]

I really appreciate this video, this cleared up so much for me. Thank You!

[@rimabdallah7050]

This is the clearest explanation my eyes fell upon. Thanks a TON.

[@smylegalaxy2810]

OMG this channel is Awesome! I wonder why this is so less recognized? It is just perfect for learning. Thank you.

[@May.be.]

This was all I needed,
Now I get the feel of this topic...
Thanks!.

No problem

[@amalthomas768]

Thank

[@KLXO10]

Did this with a 9 year old and we did amazing! Great work at explaining, thank you. :)

[@vaishnavibabar766]

This is actually the best channel.... Which must get lot of recognition..

[@Mr2Xri]

I think this video must take the RUclips Nobel about teaching electronics!!! Many BRAVO for the presentation and the structure of the video.

[@aratisantoshraundale9241]

Best video to understand this concept, thank you sir for your help 🙏🏻

[@shaharyarbadar7345]

Thank you so much for the clear and precise explanation

[@philmatthews3537]

Excellent video, very clear and easy to understand. Nice one GPB Ed.

[@alexandradeamicis4772]

beautiful video! I think it's way too underrated

[@nickyraja3793]

I agree, it's way too under-rated... junk out there has high recognition but this tutor has been neglected I must say

[@CarlosRamirez-xe8xz]

Congratulations boy. You're a very good teacher! The explanation is quite clear.

[@brankelly1921]

Such a clearly explained video, thank you so much!

[@aneeshrao4813]

Thank you sir ☺️. It made all my concepts on electric potential energy clear.

[@aparnar311]

You made it so clear 😊 Thank you sir

Wow! Thanks :)

[@priyadharshini2288]

super b bro...this wat i want...

[@purinji_padipom]

Sir I have 1 explanation for gravitational potential energy, can u check correct . So , 1st basically potential energy means the energy which stored in a body which later can be used. Then , if we place a body in a particular height it have some gravitational potential energy ( because v done some work [ which maybe produced by muscular/chemical energy] ) . So , the chemical energy converted into potential energy . The final thing is gravitational field which i believe its a kind of representation of visualizing how a body reacts to the gravity when it placed in particular point in space . So , gravitational potential means *when the body with mass placed in a gravitational field which got a potential energy because of workdone on it* . Now if I change the word as electric field and charges I call it as electric potential energy . Please tell is there any error or not sir . Because I am also a student

[@supornadas1553]

Thanks a lot !!💗

[@GPBEducation]

Thanks for watching!

[@TrangNguyen-pz9ht]

8:20 The charge refers to what we are considering or the charge around it. Help me please!!!!!!

[@SaronAbabu-cg2rd]

Thanks a lot.

[@GPBEducation]

Thanks for watching!

[@laeclorentzen6111]

“Unlike other scalar quantities.. like temperature, (electric potential energy) can be positive or negative.” Umm, have you ever heard of negative temperatures? I guess if you are talking Kelvin’s..

[@jay22197]

you are amazing thank you for doing this OMG

[@GPBEducation]

Thanks! and thanks for watching!

[@rajeshdevkar6338]

Very helpful....I would recommend everyone to subscribe this channel

[@kashifhussains2951]

E. P in the last example! Should not they both be positive? Cause the field points in the same direction in this specific configuration. If the charges were on same side of point then we could use that but in this case how would ot make sense. Even if we think about it physically the charge at point A is gonna be forced more to move towards a specific charge based on the tyoe of charge we choose.. And obviously we would have to add forces of both the charges to find the force or(electric potential) on charge A

[@dofl]

I think we are not considering direction bcz it is a scalar quantity

[@sohcahtoadaniel5491]

Amazing

[@Kaustuv250MVA]

awesome

[@jax1296]

There are 2 equations in this video for Electric Potential Energy: PEe = k x q1 x q2 / r. Also PEe = q x E x d. I'm confused...

[@mask15_84]

tysm

[@kklol07]

thanks

[@GPBEducation]

You're welcome!

[@hellomint4028]

3:20 isn't this the force

[@mattbodie5990]

TLDR-Quick and dirty: Electric potential energy- Tells you the energy of all the charges.
Electric potential- tells you the potential of a single charge.

[@tylerdodd9611]

I have a exam in 2 hours, thank you for saving my ass

[@sallaklamhayyen9876]

top

[@markdeartola1154]

why am i still so damn confused

[@manojmaheshwari4055]

I am too

[@imzayn]

did something cleared your mind? because i'm also confused xD

[@rhaast864]

Shouldn't it be r² instead of r? (7)²*?

[@marknicholzsimporios5107]

Its not a vector but a scalar

[@GPBEducation]

Thanks for your question! The equation for electric potential energy is kq1q2/r. We don't square the 7 since radius in the equation isn't squared. There is an equation in which you would square the 7 but, that would be if you wanted to calculate electric force.

[@libai9983]

r^2 is for force.

[@yashvardhan8487]

Are you Indian, bro?

[@w80.]

y are there only 223 likes on dis vid?

I'm so happy to see he is a MUSLIM
BTW the video was also very helpful

[@plopplop-ed5un]

Stop talking with your hands so much
