Electric Potential (8:21)

Lecture Notes
Give
AP Physics 2
Electric potential is one of the most important ideas in electrostatics, and in this video, Mr. P from Flipping Physics clearly explains what electric potential is, how it differs from electric potential energy, and how to calculate it using simple examples. Learn how volts relate to joules per coulomb and why electric potential represents the potential to have electric potential energy. Perfect for AP Physics 1 and introductory college physics students who want to truly understand electric potential.
