voltage

voltage is a measure of difference in electric potential energy across two points

\begin{equation} V = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_{0}} \sum_{i} \frac{q_{i}}{r_{i}} \end{equation}

or,

\begin{equation} PE = qV \end{equation}

potential energy experienced by \(q\) at the point.

\begin{equation} E_{x} = -\dv{V}{x} \end{equation}

\begin{equation} \Delta V = - \int E \cdot dr \end{equation}

\begin{equation} PE = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_{0}} \frac{q_1q_2}{r} \end{equation}

equipotentential lines and electric field lines should align at right angles.

  • current through series is the same
  • voltage through parallel is the same
