Electrostatics: Work and Potential Energy

This lecture covers the concept of work done by an electric field on a test particle, the calculation of work along a path, the relationship between force and electric field, the concept of potential energy, and the principle of superposition for electric potential. It also discusses conservative fields, energy conservation, and the determination of electric potential. Examples include the acceleration of a charge in an electric field and the calculation of kinetic energy. The lecture concludes with the study of electric phenomena related to stationary charges and the definition of electric potential.
