4 Questions
Where would a small positive charge be placed to have the maximum electric potential energy?
Point 3
What is the reason behind placing a small positive charge at point 3 for maximum electric potential energy?
It is where the positive charge is attracted to
Why does point 1 not have the maximum electric potential energy for a small positive charge?
It is where the positive charge will gain the most kinetic energy if it is released
What effect does the constant electric field throughout the two plates have on the electric potential energy at different points?
Causes all three points to have the same electric potential energy
Test your knowledge of electric potential energy and charged plates by determining the point where a small positive charge would have the maximum potential energy in a given scenario.
