quantitykind:ElectricPotential

Type
Description

The Electric Potential is a scalar valued quantity associated with an electric field. The electric potential $$\phi(x)$$ at a point, $$x$$, is formally defined as the line integral of the electric field taken along a path from x to the point at infinity. If the electric field is static, that is time independent, then the choice of the path is arbitrary; however if the electric field is time dependent, taking the integral a different paths will produce different results.

Properties
$$-\textbf{grad} \; V = E + \frac{\partial A}{\partial t}$$, where $$E$$ is electric field strength, $$A$$ is magentic vector potential and $$t$$ is time.
