Uniform Electric Fields: Electric Potential Energy & Potential Difference

[@الأستاذمحموديوسفحاجم]

In a capacitor with two parallel plates, why is it that when one plate is moved sideways to reduce the opposite surface area, the potential difference between the plates increases? What is the physical explanation for this?

Good luck on the test!!

I love my physics professor, but sometimes his lectures are lacking in the foundations of the equations. These videos are extremely helpful!

[@stepbystepscience]

Glad they were helpful, thanks for the good feedback.

Thanks for posting videos I'm studying very good at school

[@stepbystepscience]

That's great, happy to hear it!

Hi,in my book the Work done on the charge is equal to the negative of the change in PE. I your lecture, it says W=change PE. Which's one correct?

[@stepbystepscience]

Depends what force is doing the work. An external force of the force from the electric field.

How do you calculate machine

[@stepbystepscience]

What do you mean "calculate machine"?

[@ChizMiss2019]

Is this step by step science before?

Why you are in so hurry? Can you not speak a bit slow? This speed is annoying, though your lecture content is excellent. Please, speak a little slow.

Ok, thanks for the feedback!
