Electrical potential energy

Answer 1

Electrical potential energy is the energy associated with the magnitudes of the charges on electrically charged particles and the positions of the particles relative to one another. The closer two particles with the same charge are, the greater the potential energy. Therefore, the particles have the greatest electrical potential energy at position 1.

Electrical potential energy is similar to gravitational potential energy. Both energies exist because the relative positions of two objects give the objects the ability to do work.

Answer 2

Electrical potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position in an electric field. It arises from the interaction between electric charges and is measured in joules. The potential energy is directly proportional to the voltage or electric potential difference between the charges.

Answer 3

Electrical potential is measured in volts, and that is not an energy (it is energy per charge).

Electrical potential energy, just like any energy, is measured in joules.

Answer 4

The same as other forms of energy, in ergs or joules or watt-hours or calories or kilocalories or British Thermal units, all of those are units of energy.

Answer 5

Electrical potential is measured in Volts. Electrical potential is measured in Volts.

Answer 6

The official unit to measure energy is joules, which is equal to watt-seconds. However, power companies charge you for electrical energy in kWh; one kilowatt-hour = 3.6 million joules.

Answer 7

The same as for any type of energy. The SI unit for energy is the joule.

Answer 8

Energy is measured in joules.

Answer 9

The "volt" is.
