Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the potential energy of a charge q placed in an electric potential V?
Correct Answer: U = qV
  • Step 1: Understand that potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position.
  • Step 2: Know that electric potential (V) is a measure of the potential energy per unit charge.
  • Step 3: Recognize that when a charge (q) is placed in an electric potential (V), it will have potential energy.
  • Step 4: Use the formula U = qV to calculate the potential energy, where U is the potential energy, q is the charge, and V is the electric potential.
