Simple equation to show work done on an equipotential surface is zero

jeudi 1 mai 2014

w = ΔKE + ΔPE



For a particle moving at constant speed, there is no change in velocity so no change in KE. What about change in PE for a partcile moving at constant speed on a equipotential surface? Would I be right in stating that since the particle moves along the same surface (AKA same height), there is no change in height and therefore no change in PE?
