  • Force between electrons moving side by side

    Now consider the effect of the velocity V of the charges. Each moving charge is like a small element of electric current. Then Biot-Savart gives the field B at distance r due to a small length dL carrying current I.

  • Kinetic Energy of a Charged Particle

    The kinetic energy is equal to the work done moving charge in the presence of a potential. Thus, the electron's kinetic energy is: (1.1) Where is the charge of the electron and VAB is the potential difference between A and B.

  • Charged particle fired at fixed charge

    So, the total energy at the moment of firing is K + W = 66.1 joules. When the charge stops moving, its potential energy must be 66.1 joules.
