About this unit
In this unit, we talk about the potential energy of charges and charge systems. We also introduce potential which we will use extensively while dealing with circuits.
We have talked a lot in terms of fields and forces. But there's a different language that makes things simpler in many situations! Let's discuss potentials!
It's easy to jumble signs if you're not careful with your potentials! Let's further our understanding of electric potential!
