Work & Electrostatic Energy „ Consider: A stationary configuration of source charges is used to generate a electric field E(r). A test charge QT is moved from point a to point b in this electric field. „ Question: How much mechanical work W is done on the test charge QT in moving it (slowly) from point a to point b?

ELECTROSTATIC ENERGY AND THE SUPERPOSITION PRINCIPLE „ Potential energy is quadratic in the electric field

„ Therefore, if we double E, i.e., E->2E, potential energy in the electrostatic field quadruples (4x). „ Thus, work done to assemble the charge distribution does NOT obey the principle of linear superposition
