Today I was talking about electric potential. My favorite analogy for electric potential energy is gravitational potential energy. But electric potential is something different. Electric potential ...

We define and explain mathematically through multiple example problems. Segment 4E: Gravitational Potential and Kinetic Energy Gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy are defined and ...

Let's file this post under "mistakes that Rhett made that he doesn't want to make again." If I don't write it down, I won't learn from my mistakes. How about I start this with the following problem.

Potential energy is stored energy. Potential energy is the energy that exists by virtue of the relative positions (configurations) of the objects within a physical system. This form of energy has the ...

JONNY NELSON: Energy. There are lots of different types and lots of different ways of storing it. Chemical energy in a sparkler, elastic potential energy that fires a toy into the air, and many, many ...
