∆Ue

Definition

∆Ue refers to the change in electric potential energy of a charged object in an electric field. It represents the work done on or by the object as it moves within the field.

Scalar quantity: A scalar quantity is a physical quantity that has magnitude but no direction. In the case of ∆Ue, it only tells us about the amount of change in electric potential energy without specifying its direction.

Electric potential: Electric potential is a scalar quantity that measures the amount of electric potential energy per unit charge at a given point in an electric field.

Electric field:

An electric field is a region around charged particles or objects where other charged particles experience forces. It determines how charges interact with each other and affects their electric potentials and energies.
