Q: In a uniform electric field, the potential difference between two points is given by which of the following?
Solution: In a uniform electric field, the potential difference (V) between two points separated by a distance (d) is given by V = E × d, where E is the electric field strength.
Steps: 5
Step 1: Understand that a uniform electric field means the strength of the electric field (E) is the same everywhere between the two points.
Step 2: Identify the two points between which you want to find the potential difference.
Step 3: Measure the distance (d) between these two points.
Step 4: Use the formula for potential difference in a uniform electric field, which is V = E × d.
Step 5: Multiply the electric field strength (E) by the distance (d) to find the potential difference (V).
