For questions that utilize the concept of electric fields (commonly denoted by the letter E), or for questions whose answers likely involve electric fields. More specific than the [electricity] tag, as questions about the phenomenon & theory of electricity do not necessarily involve the discussion of fields.

Potential vs Potential Difference for a line charge

How would I calculate potential for an infinite line of charge a distance 'r' away from it? What does the reference point for potential difference mean? I know delta v = Q/(2pi*epsilon0*L)*ln(r2/r1) …

Work done by Electric Field vs work done by outside force

I'm confused as to the signage of the equation: W=qv, W=-U, W=-qv? When is work positive? When is it negative? Why is this different for the work done by the electric field vs the work done by an outs …

Electric field for concentric spheres

I have a couple clarifying questions: (A) in $E=kq/r^2$ for the area between a sphere inside another spherical shell, the sphere inside is considered a point charge. However, the sphere inside has a …
