dipole

A pair of two equal and opposite electic charges

electric potential

the work done per unit charge by an external agent in bringing a small point positive charge from infinity to a point

electric potential energy

the work that needs to be done by an external agent in order to bring a set of charges from where they were separated by infinite distance to their current position

equipotential surfaces

set of points that have the same potential

escape velocity

the minimum speed at launch so that a particle can move to infinity and never return

gravitational potential

the work done per unit mass by an external agent in bringing a small point mass from infinity to a point

gravitational potential energy

the work that must be performed by an external agent to raise a mass to a certain height from a position where the height is zero, or to bing a set of masses to their current position from when they were separated by an infinite distance

parallel plates

two parallel and equally but oppositely charged plates

Schwarzschild radius

the distance from the centre of a star where the escape speed is the speed of light
