Key Stage 3
Meaning
If a charge object is placed in an electrostatic field it will have energy in the Electrostatic Potential Energy Store.
The electrostatic potential energy store is the energy stored in a charged object that is in an electrostatic field.
About The Electrostatic Potential Energy Store
- The stronger the electrostatic field the more energy in the electrostatic potential energy store.
- The greater the charge of the object the more energy in the electrostatic potential energy store.
Key Stage 4
Meaning
The electrostatic potential energy store is the energy stored in a charged object that is in an electrostatic field.
About Electrostatic Potential Energy
- Electrostatic Potential Energy is a potential energy due to the position of a charged object in an electrostatic field.
- The electrostatic potential energy store of an object is related to two important factors:
- The magnitude of the charge - The greater the charge the greater the electrostatic potential energy store.
- The distance between charged objects - The greater the distance between 'like charges' the smaller the electrostatic potential energy, the greater the distance between 'opposite charges' the greater the electrostatic potential energy.
