Summary This video begins with a review of electric field and electric potential, focusing on their similarities and differences and the way they are most commonly represented. A video clip from the Boston Museum of Science’s Theatre of Electricity helps to transition into a discussion of electrical breakdown, which is described in detail. Students are asked to consider the role of the field and/or the potential in creating a spark during electrical breakdown. Learning Objectives After watching this video students will: Have a clearer picture of the electric field and electric potential. Be able to describe electrical breakdown in terms of the electric field or electric potential.
