Question

Electrical Potential Energy: selet the vvariable

Answers

GPT-4o mini
In the context of electrical potential energy, the primary variables involved are:

1. **Charge (q)**: This can refer to a point charge or the amount of charge in a given system.

2. **Electric Potential (V)**: This is the electric potential energy per unit charge at a specific point in an electric field.

3. **Distance (r)**: This is often the distance between two charges or from a charge to a point in the electric field.

4. **Coulomb's Constant (k)**: This is a proportionality constant in Coulomb's law representing the force between two point charges.

The electrical potential energy (U) between two point charges can be expressed using the formula:

\[
U = k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r}
\]

Where:
- \( U \) is the electrical potential energy,
- \( k \) is Coulomb's constant,
- \( q_1 \) and \( q_2 \) are the magnitudes of the two point charges,
- \( r \) is the distance between the charges.
