KEY TAKEAWAYS
• One can look at electricity from the standpoint of electrical potential energy and the electrical kinetic energy.

• Electricity in a battery goes from a negative terminal, through a light bulb, for example, to a positive terminal.
• The electrical potential of a point charge will decrease with distance from the charge.
• An equipotent line is a line that has equal potential across the entire line so it takes no work to transfer the charge from one point on the line to any other point on the line.
• A capacitor is a device that will store charge by splitting it between two plates that are close together and often separated by a dielectric or insulator.
• Capacitors can be placed in parallel or in series, with different results when this occurs.
