PHYS 201 - Fundamentals of Physics II
Lecture 05 - The Electric Potential and Conservation of Energy. The law of conservation of energy is reviewed using examples drawn from Newtonian mechanics. The work-energy theorem is derived from first principles and used to initiate a discussion of the vector calculus underlying the law of conservation of energy. (from oyc.yale.edu)
