Today, we'll learn the concept of Electric Potential Energy.
You can either:
Watch the first 25 minutes only of the YouTube video "Electric Potential Energy and Potential". I made this video for my AT students who in theory had learned this concept before, so it moves pretty fast. If you do not know calculus, you can skip minutes 15-19, but try to understand the set-up and memorize the resulting formula.
Read section 16.1 in your textbook. (See Google Classroom if your textbook is not handy.)
Then, answer the questions in ✅ Formative: Electric Potential Energy Questions.
Homework: QUIZ on electric field and force next class - Thursday, March 20th (will not include electric potential energy). Answer Electric Potential Energy Questions in ✅ Formative by tonight Tuesday, March 18th at 10pm. No late work will be accepted on the ✅ Formative assignment.
Optional Extra Practice:
Finally, solve electric potential energy problems from the old textbook Chapter 16 #12, 10, 15, and 14a. Remember that electric potential energy is a scalar quantity, so add potential energies in a scalar way (no vectors, no trig, no Pythagorean theorem or arctan; only positives and negatives). Watch the following video to help you to understand #15.

QUIZ on electric field and force Today!
Today, after the quiz, we'll learn about Electric Potential.
First watch the rest of the video "Electric Potential Energy and Potential" starting at minute 25. If you need to see it a different way, you can watch the other video posted here "Potential, Potential Difference, and Voltage" (by lasseviren1).
Then, watch this additional video which talks about the connection between electric field and electric potential and also discusses the topic of equipotential surfaces:
With any time remaining, start the 📖 textbook problem set in the next post.
Optional Extra Practice: Attempt the textbook problems in the Electric Potential PowerPoint slides 1-6. Check with the solution guide in Google Classroom.
Homework: Finish the textbook problems in the Electric Potential PowerPoint. Assessment of all of Electrostatics Wednesday, March 26th!
