    Potential Energy

    #Physics
    Represented as either a $\displaystyle U$ os $\displaystyle V$

    $\displaystyle U_{\text{elastic}}=\frac{1}{2}kx^{2}$

    $\displaystyle U_{\text{dipole}}=\frac{kp}{r^{2}}\cos \theta$

    • $\displaystyle k$ is the Coloumb Constant
    • $\displaystyle p$ is the dipole moment
    • $\displaystyle r$ is the distance between the point of interest and the center of the dipole
    • $\displaystyle \theta$ is the angle between the dipole axis and the line from the center of the dipole to the point of interest
