Electric Potential Energy Calculator
The Electric Potential Energy Calculator will calculate the:
- Electric potential energy of a point test charge at a given distance from another point charge (electric potential energy inside a non-uniform field)
- Electric potential energy of a point test charge at a given distance from a zero-potential position (electric potential energy inside a uniform field)
Please note that in the Electric Potential Energy Calculator, Medium is considered as homogenous.
The electric potential energy of a point test charge inside a non-uniform electric field produced by another charge is J [Joule] |
The electric potential energy of a point test charge inside a uniform field is J [Joule] |
