Potential energy, kinetic energy, and power

The work that needs to be done to move a unit charge from one point to another against the electric field is called the electric potential. F= qE is the force exerted by the electric field on the positive charge. The equal and opposite amount of force needs to be exerted i.e, F= -qE on […]

Electric potential energy is a potential energy that is measured in joules. It results from conservative Coulomb forces. It is associated with the configuration of a particular set of point charges within a defined system. Any object may possess electric potential energy through two key elements: its own electric charge and its relative position to

Work, power, and energy are the fundamentals of classical physics. Power can be defined as the rate of work done by some force. In simple words, power measures the ability to do work by a force. But it is not true that power is only measured in terms of work done and displacement.  In optics,

Potential energy is a type of energy that has the capacity to conduct work but cannot now do so or exert force on someone. As a result, we say it’s the energy that things have as a result of their position rather than their motion. It is a type of mechanical energy. P.E. is derived

Kinetic energy is the energy that is calculated when the object is in motion. The word kinetic is derived from a Greek word named kinetikos. Kinetikos means motion and kinein means ‘to move’. This word was first used around the 19th century. Kinetic energy has its application in various daily activities. Like when a bullet

Energy density is a concept used in a variety of branches in physics. Energy is associated with various systems such as chemical, electrical, and nuclear physics, and to have a generalised idea about the energy content of the system, the concept of energy density is applied. In the fields of astronomy, astrophysics, and cosmology, energy

The energy that an object has as a consequence of its motion is known as kinetic energy. We must apply force to an object if we want it to accelerate. Applying force requires effort. After the work is completed, energy is transferred to the item, which then moves at a new steady speed. Kinetic energy

The term potential energy was introduced by William Rankine in the 19th century and is an essential concept in chemistry and physics. Potential energy and equilibrium are concepts that are related to each other. When conservative forces act on the system, it helps connect and define equilibrium in terms of potential energy. Any system’s potential

Mechanical energy is defined as the product of potential and kinetic energy in physical sciences. If an isolated system is only subjected to conservative forces, the mechanical energy is constant, according to the concept of conservation of mechanical energy.  The potential energy of an object increases as it moves in the opposite direction of a
