Finding potential (V) from field (E)
-ΔU =
ΔV = ΔU/q, E =F/q , therefore
If you want to find a value for Vf , instead of ∆V, you must specify a position, si , where Vi =0. This position is often at infinity.

Geometry of Potential and Field
• The direction of the electric field is perpendicular to the equipotential surfaces
• E always points in the direction of decreasing potential
• Field strength (magnitude) of E is inversely proportional to the spacing ∆s between equipotential surfaces

Kirchoff’s Loop Law
• The sum of all potential differences encountered while moving around closed path is zero
• This is a result of the conservation of energy for a conservative force

Conductor in electrostatic equilibrium
• For a sphere of charge Q, outside the conductor (r >R), E = kQ/r2
with the maximum field strength at the surface of the sphere E = kQ/R2
• Inside the sphere, E=0.
![Page 16: Ch – 30 Potential and Field](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813ba6550346895da4d832/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Conductor in electrostatic equilibrium
• To find ∆V between 2 points outside the sphere, integrate E along a line between the two points.
• At the surface of the sphere, there is a nonzero potential.
![Page 17: Ch – 30 Potential and Field](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813ba6550346895da4d832/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Conductor in electrostatic equilibrium
• Inside, since E = 0, ∆V =0, which means the potential inside is constant
• When a conductor is in electrostatic equilibrium, the entire conductor has the same potential, not necessarily the same charge

• Same potential, but different charge and different electric field here

• E points in direction of decreasing potential so V1 > V2
• |∆V12 |= 200 V/m x 10 cm = 20 V and since it is decreasing:
∆V12 = -20V• Arbitrary assumption
