How can electric potential be high when electrical potential energy is realitively low?

∙ 11y ago
Electric potential can be high when electrical potential energy is relatively low if the charge is low as well. ... It is correct to say that an object with twice the electric potential of another has twice the electrical potential energy only if the charges are the same.

∙ 12y agoNo, in fact, electric potential energy is high when electric potential is high.
Electric potential energy = electric potential x charge
So, for the same charge, electric potential energy is proportional to the electric potential..

∙ 11y agoExactly the same way that the gravitational potential energy of a speck of dust in
the carpet of an airliner can be very small even when the airliner is at 40,000 feet.
Because the gravitational potential energy involves not only the height of the object
but also its mass.
Similarly, the electrical potential energy of a single electron is very small even when
the electron is lifted through many thousand volts of potential difference. Because
the electrical potential energy involves not only the potential through which the
charge is lifted, but also the amount of charge.

An electric motor converts electrical energy to potential energy True or false?
It is false that an electric motor converts electrical energy to potential energy.
What is the voltage at the location of a 0.0001-Coulomb charge that has an electric potential energy of 0.5 joules?
Electric Potential = Electrical Potential Energy/ Charge The measurement for electric potential is call the volt. Electrical Potential is often called voltage. Voltage or Electrical Potential = 0.5 Joules / .0001 Coloumb = 5000
Why is electric energy can not be stored?
Electrical energy is a form of energy derived from the flow of neutrons, the negatively charged particles in atoms. When loosely used to describe energy absorbed or delivered by an electrical circuit, "electrical energy" refers to energy which has been converted from electrical potential energy. This energy is supplied by the combination of electric current and electrical potential that is delivered by the circuit. At the point that this electrical potential energy has been converted to another type of energy, it ceases to be electrical potential energy. Thus, all electrical energy is potential energy before it is delivered to the end-use. Once converted from potential energy, electrical energy can always be described as another type of energy (heat, light, motion, etc.).
What energy transformation occurs when an electrical fan turned on?
Electric energy to kitenic energy
What is the energy transformations in electric mixer?
electric energy kinetic mechanical energy
What is the difference between electrical potential energy and potential difference?
Electric potential is the electric potential energy per unit coulomb. So unit for electric potential is J/C and that of electric potential energy is simply J

Does an object with twice the electric potential of another have twice the electrical potential energy?
Yes. Electric Potential energy E= VQ thus 2VQ = 2E.

Is electric energy part of potential energy?
Yes. Potential Electrical energy is E= q^2zc/4pi r.
What is the formula for potential energy in an electrical system?
In an electric circuit, potential energy is usually understood as "stored charge." This is what capacitors do.
What energy transformation occurs when an electrical fan turned on?
Electric energy to kitenic energy
What is the energy transformations in electric mixer?
electric energy kinetic mechanical energy
What is the energy associated with electric current is called?
Moving electrons possess kinetic energy, but the energy you are referring to is called electricity
Electric potential energy of an ion?
The electrical potential energyof an ion is Es= -e^2zc/4pi r.
Could you define a magnetic potential energy as electrical or gravitational potential energy?
It is both as gravity makes electric power with magnets hope it helps.
