Nov 5, 2022 at 11:17 comment added GiorgioP-DoomsdayClockIsAt-90 @fertilizerspike The measurability of isothermal compressibility (or its inverse, the bulk modulus) of solids is a fact, not a matter of opinion (see, for instance values at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_modulus )

Nov 4, 2022 at 22:54 comment added march Please limit your posts to one question. The first two questions are related, so they're fine, but the third should really be posted as its own question. That said, in that formula, $V$ is the potential energy not the electric potential. Sometimes people are a little lazy with their language and use the word "potential" when they mean "potential energy", and that can be confusing, but one gets used to it. In the context of electrostatics, the electric field is the derivative of the electric potential, and if we multiply both sides by a test charge $q$, we get that equation above back.
