In a special lecture of the series the kinetic energy is derived once again, but this time with respect for the variation of the mass with velocity resulting in the famous mass-energy relation. It goes on so long, a classroom door is used for extra space.

Lecture 103: Derivatives Part II

Capacitance is defined in the context of an arrangement of parallel plates.  The electric field energy per unit volume is also derived.

Lecture 044: Capacitance

The notion of lines of equipotential is introduced and explored.

Lecture 043: Equipotentials

The electric potential between two parallel conducting plates of known surface charge density is discussed in detail.  This example is of particular interest because it is used to illuminate the relationship between force, field, voltage and energy.

Lecture 042: Parallel Conducting Plates

The Electrostatic Potential energy is derived from the work-energy theorem which leads, in turn to our definition of electric potential, the energy per unit charge.
