Potential due to different charge distributions


ConceptsEquationsDescription
Coulomb’s law$ F=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Q_1 Q_2}{r^2} $Force between two point charges$ (Q_1,Q_2) $ separated by a distance $r$
Electric potential( V=\sum_{i=1}^N\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Q_i}{r_i} )Work done to bring a positive test charge (q_0) from infinity to a point (P) in the electric field created by multiple charges ( Q_i)
Electric potential due to a point charge( V=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Q}{r} )Electric potential due to a point charge (Q) at a distance (r)
Electric potential due to a dipole$ V=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{p\cos\theta}{r^2}$Electric potential due to a dipole with dipole moment $(p)$ at a distance $r$ and angle $\theta$ from the dipole axis
Electric potential due to a uniformly charged sphere$ V=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\left[\frac{3Q}{2R}\right]), $r>R$
( V=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{3Q}{2R} ), (r<R),Electric potential due to a uniformly charged sphere with total charge (Q), radius (R), and charge density (\rho). For points outside the sphere ( (r>R)), the potential is the same as that of a point charge (Q) located at the center of the sphere.
Electric potential due to a uniformly charged thin rod( V=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\int_{-L/2}^{L/2}\frac{2\lambda}{\sqrt{r^2+x^2}}\text{d}x )Electric potential at point P on the perpendicular bisector of a uniformly charged thin rod of length (L) and linear charge density (\lambda).
Electric potential due to a uniformly charged infinite plane( V=\frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0} )Electric potential due to a uniformly charged infinite plane with charge density (\sigma)
