- If the particle is stationary before and after the move, Then Kf and Ki are both zero.

- If a particle of charge q is moved from point i to point f in an electric field by applying a force to it, the applied force does work Wapp on the charge while the electric field does work W on it. The change K in the kinetic energy of the particle is

- We can also relate Wapp to the electric potential difference ΔV between the initial and final locations of the particle:
- Relating the work done by our applied force to the change in the potential energy of the particle during the move, one has
