Why Use Electrostatic Potential Maps?
The total energy of a pathway is the sum of the energies of the particle interacting with every electric field producing component along the pathway. It requires the sum of nine separate electric potential equations to find the electric potential at one point. Each position on the surface of the components experiences a different total potential energy. To get an accurate indication of the absolute minimum energy, presume it would take ten readings per component. There are nine components, ten readings per component, and ten calculations per reading. To find the total range of potential energies would take 900 calculations. How do you go about using 900 sets of data? You could graph it, the electrostatic potentials are clear pieces of data, but creating coordinates that correspond to specific locations on specific charged components is a complicated process that convolutes the interpretation of the data. The best way to represent this data is to map it, imposing the data onto a model t
