, What This Module is About
This module is about demonstrates your understanding on the concepts of electric
potential and electric potential energy. Electric potential energy is the energy that is needed to
move a charge against an electric field. You need more energy to move a charge further in the
electric field, but also more energy to move it through a stronger field.
This module will help you explore the key concepts on topics that will help you answer
the questions pertaining to electric potential.
This module covers the following lesson:
Electric Potential and Electric Potential Energy
What I Need to Know
At the end of this module, you should be able to:
1. Relate the electric potential with work, potential energy, and electric field.
(STEM_GP12EM-IIIb-15)
2. Determine the electric potential function at any point due to highly symmetric continuous-
charge distributions (STEM_GP12EM-IIIc-17)
3. Infer the direction and strength of electric field vector, nature of the electric field sources,
and electrostatic potential surfaces given the equipotential lines Define the work done by
the electric force. (STEM_GP12EM-IIIc-18)
4. Calculate the electric field in the region given a mathematical function describing its
potential in a region of space (STEM_GP12EM-IIIc-20)
5. Solve problems involving electric potential energy and electric potentials
(STEM_GP12EM-IIIc-22)
How to Learn from this Module
To achieve the objectives cited above, you are to do the following:
1. Carefully read and follow instructions.
2. Write your answer/s on a separate sheet of paper, notebook, workbook or whichever is
specified by your subject teacher.
4. Take the pretest.
5. Read all lessons included in this module.
6. Perform all the activities diligently, as these will help you have a better understanding of the
topic. When you need help, tap your parent/guardian, facilitator or contact your subject teacher
7. Eventually, take the posttest at the end of this module.
