Electric Potential & Field Comparisons - A Level Physics

This resource is a complete lesson that covers Electric Potential & Field Comparisons (Electric & Gravitational) for the OCR A Level Physics A course. However, it is useful for other exam boards too.

This lesson teaches the following content:
-electric potential at a point as the work done in bringing unit positive charge from infinity to the point; electric potential is zero at infinity
-electric potential V = Q/4πε0r at a distance r from a point charge; changes in electric potential
-capacitance C = 4πε0R for an isolated sphere including derivation from equation for electric potential and Q = VC
-force–distance graph for a point or spherical charge; work done is area under graph
-electric potential energy = Vq = Qq/4πε0r a distance r from a point charge Q.
-similarities and differences between the gravitational field of a point mass and the electric field of a point charge

This lesson includes:
-A full presentation including 3 example questions with worked solutions.
-A worksheet with model answers, perfect to set as homework.
-Clear visual aids and diagrams to simplify complex concepts.
-Editable PowerPoint and Word document for easy customisation.
