Distinguish between electric potential energy and electric potential (i.e. voltage). (PII.4.6)

Map electric fields and equipotential lines, showing the electric field lines are perpendicular to the equipotential lines, and draw conclusions about the motion of a charged particle either between or along equipotential lines due the electric field. (PII.4.5)

Relate the idea of electric potential energy to electric potential (i.e. voltage) in the context of electric circuits. (PII.5.1)
