Question

A negatively charged particle (Q = -2 C) moves through a 2000 V loss of electric potential. Will there be a loss or gain of potential energy?

Answer 1

The electric potential in the be a loss of potential energy.

Explanation:

The movies through a $2000V$ loss of electric potential. The be loss or gain of potential energy.

Δ$E=qU$

$=(-2)(2000)$

$=-4000J$.

It will there be a loss of potential energy.
