Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the potential difference between two points A and B in an electric field if the work done in moving a charge of 5μC from A to B is 10mJ?
  • Step 1: Identify the formula for potential difference (V), which is V = W/Q, where W is the work done and Q is the charge.
  • Step 2: Note the values given in the question: Work done (W) is 10mJ and charge (Q) is 5μC.
  • Step 3: Convert the units to standard SI units: 10mJ = 10 × 10^-3 J and 5μC = 5 × 10^-6 C.
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula: V = (10 × 10^-3 J) / (5 × 10^-6 C).
  • Step 5: Perform the division: V = 2V.
