The Electron Volt The electron volt (eV) is defined as the
energy that an electron gains when accelerated through a potential difference of 1 V Electrons in normal atoms have energies of

Equipotential Surfaces An equipotential surface is a
surface on which all points are at the same potential No work is required to move a charge
at a constant speed on an equipotential surface
The electric field at every point on an equipotential surface is perpendicular to the surface

Equipotentials and Electric Fields Lines – Positive Charge
The equipotentials for a point charge are a family of spheres centered on the point charge
The field lines are perpendicular to the electric potential at all points

Application – Electrostatic Precipitator It is used to remove
particulate matter from combustion gases
Reduces air pollution Can eliminate
approximately 90% by mass of the ash and dust from smoke
Recovers metal oxides from the stack

discomfort of allergy sufferers It uses many of the same
principles as the electrostatic precipitator

for making photocopies Uses photoconductive materials
A photoconductive material is a poor conductor of electricity in the dark but becomes a good electric conductor when exposed to light

The Xerographic Process
![Page 15: Electrical Energy and Capacitance Concept of potential difference and potential Potential and potential energy for point charges Potentials and charged](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56649ec45503460f94bce8b0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Application – Laser Printer The steps for producing a document on
a laser printer is similar to the steps in the xerographic process Steps a, c, and d are the same The major difference is the way the image
forms on the selenium-coated drum A rotating mirror inside the printer causes the
beam of the laser to sweep across the selenium-coated drum
The electrical signals form the desired letter in positive charges on the selenium-coated drum
Toner is applied and the process continues as in the xerographic process

Capacitance A capacitor is a device used in a
variety of electric circuits The capacitance, C, of a capacitor
is defined as the ratio of the magnitude of the charge on either conductor (plate) to the magnitude of the potential difference between the conductors (plates)

Parallel-Plate Capacitor, Example
The capacitor consists of two parallel plates
Each have area A They are separated by a
distance d The plates carry equal and
opposite charges When connected to the
battery, charge is pulled off one plate and transferred to the other plate
The transfer stops when DVcap = DVbattery
