10.9: Conservation of Electric Energy

A Describe changes in energy in a system due to a difference in electric potential between two locations.

When a charged object moves between two locations with different electric potentials, the resulting change in the electric potential energy of the object-field system is given by the following equation.

The movement of a charged object between two points with different electric potential energies results in a change in kinetic energy of the object consistent with the conservation of energy.
