Sec 1-5Electrostatic Energy Electrostatic potential energy of charge in an applied field Electrostatic energy of charge systems Energy of electrostatic fields * charge×potential at that point “电荷与电场的相互作用能” 1. Electrostatic potential energy of charge in an applied (external) field 【Ex.】 Electrostatic energy (ESE) of an electron in a hydrogen atom “电子与电场（质子）的相互作用能” Potential of a proton： ESE of an electron： 【Ex.】 The potential energy of an electric dipole in a uniform external field Proof： 【Thinking】 How does the potential energy W change with the orientation of p?
