Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

The work done in moving a charge from a point A to point B in an electric field is equal to the change in what?
  • Step 1: Understand that when a charge moves in an electric field, it experiences a force.
  • Step 2: Recognize that moving a charge requires work to be done against or with this force.
  • Step 3: Know that work done on the charge changes its energy.
  • Step 4: Identify that this energy change is specifically called electric potential energy.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the work done in moving the charge from point A to point B is equal to the change in electric potential energy.
