Balaclava for EMF Protection
Protect yourself during waking and
sleeping hours with this very
comfortable 2-way stretch
garment. Shields microwaves from
cell phones and other sources
(60db from 30 MHz to 1GHz
average). Can be worn as a
helmet, a loose turtle-neck, or as a
cap. It can be worn under a scarf
or hat. For increased protection
wear it with the Radiation Blocking
Headband.

The electric _______________________
potential difference
V is defined
as the work done per charge:

V is a _____________

Ex 1: 18 J of work are required to move 2.0 C of charge
between two points in an electric field. Find the electric
potential difference between the two points.
Given:
18 J = W
2.0 C =
q
V= ?
V=W/q
V = 18 J /2.0 C
= 9.0 J/C
= 9.0 V
How much work would be required to move 4.0 C
of charge between the same two points of the problem
above?
q = 4.0 C
V=W/q
V = 9.0 V
W= ?
9.0 V
= W/ 4.0 C
36 J = W
How much potential energy is stored up as a result? 36 J
DC volts in different sizes and shapes:
AC volts in different sizes and shapes:
NOTE:
V = W/q can be used with 2 sets of units!
When working with small amounts of charge
smaller
and energy, you often use _______________
units.
•For W, instead of joules, use units:
electronvolts, eV
______________________
•For q, instead of coulombs, use units:
elementary charges, e
the number of ______________________
Using these new units, the potential difference V in:
V = W/q
will have units:
which again be volts:
[V]=[W] /[ q ]
V =
the e's cancel .
You get V because _________________
eV / e
Ex: 20 electronvolts of work are required to move 8
electrons between two points in an electric field. Find
the electric potential difference between the two points
Given:
20 eV = W
8e=
q
V= ?
V=W/q
= 20 eV / 8 e
= 2.5 eV/e
= 2.5 V
Ex: How much work (in eV) is done on a proton when
it is accelerated through a potential difference of
68,000 volts?
V= W/q
68,000 V = W / 1 e
 W = 68,000 eV
How much kinetic energy will the proton have as a
result?
DKE = W =
68,000 eV
