Relative Permittivity & Dielectric Constant Permittivity is the measure of how easy it is to generate an electric field in a certain material The relativity permittivity?εr?is sometimes ...
Capacitance Capacitors are electrical devices used to store energy in electronic circuits, commonly for a backup release of energy if the power fails They are in the form of two conductive m...
Work Done on a Charge When a mass with charge moves through an electric field, work is done The work done in moving a charge q is given by: ?W?=?q?V Where: ?W?= change in work done (J) q?= c...
Graphical Representation of Electric Potential Electric field strength,?E?and the?electric potential,?V?can be graphically represented against the distance from the centre of a charge,?r E, ...
