• They are always perpendicular to the surface

• They form closed loops

• They start at negative charges and end at positive charges

What is Gauss's Law primarily used for?

• Calculating the electric field on a surface

• Measuring the current in a wire

• Finding the potential energy between charges

• Determining the resistance in a circuit

What is the relationship between electric potential energy and electric potential difference?

• Electric potential energy is the energy per unit charge
