6-1 Work Done by a Constant Force
The work done by a constant force is defined as the distance moved multiplied by the component of the force in the direction of displacement: (6-1)

6-3 Kinetic Energy, and the Work-Energy Principle
This means that the work done is equal to the change in the kinetic energy: (6-4) If the net work is positive, the kinetic energy increases. If the net work is negative, the kinetic energy decreases.

6-5 Conservative and Nonconservative Forces
Potential energy can only be defined for conservative forces.

6-6 Mechanical Energy and Its Conservation
If there are no nonconservative forces, the sum of the changes in the kinetic energy and in the potential energy is zero – the kinetic and potential energy changes are equal but opposite in sign. This allows us to define the total mechanical energy: And its conservation:

HOW DO WE DESCRIBE AND APPLY THE CONCEPT OF ELECTRIC POTENTIAL? Electrostatic Potential Energy and Potential Difference Because the electrostatic force is conservative, the potential energy can be defined. Change in electric potential energy is negative of work done by electric force:

HOW DO WE DESCRIBE AND APPLY THE CONCEPT OF ELECTRIC POTENTIAL? Electrostatic Potential Energy and Potential Difference Electric potential is defined as potential energy per unit charge: Unit of electric potential: the volt (V). 1 V = 1 J/C. Therefore by simple rearrangement, the potential energy can be related to the electric potential:

HOW DO WE DESCRIBE AND APPLY THE CONCEPT OF ELECTRIC POTENTIAL? Electrostatic Potential Energy and Potential Difference Work, Kinetic Energy, Potential Energy, Potential, and Potential Difference are all scalar quantities, therefore, they only have magnitude and not direction. A positive Wba, K, U, or V implies it increases, and a negative Wba, K, U, or V implies it decreases.

HOW DO WE DESCRIBE AND APPLY THE CONCEPT OF ELECTRIC POTENTIAL? Electrostatic Potential Energy and Potential Difference Because only changes in potential and potential energy can be measured, Conveniently, this also allows for the free assignment of V = 0 and U = 0.

Calculating the Potential Difference, Vba, in a Uniform Field
HOW DO WE DESCRIBE AND APPLY THE CONCEPT OF ELECTRIC POTENTIAL? Calculating the Potential Difference, Vba, in a Uniform Field (1) Because the field and the direction of motion are the same, cos  = 1, (2) Because E is uniform, it can be pulled out of the integral. (3) The negative sign implies that the potential is decreasing as it moves a distance, d, in the electric field.

If the separation between the plates is 5.0 cm, calculate the electric field between them. Note that Va = 50 V and Vb = 0 V, therefore the E field is in the direction of the motion. We could have also established Va = 0 V and Vb = –50 V or Va = 25 V and Vb = –25 V, etc.
