Question

when a charge of 3c is placed in a uniform electric feild it experience force 3000 N.
within this field potential difference between two points separated by a distance of 0.001 m is

Answer 1

• Electric Potential (Voltage) is defined as work done per unit charge.
• In this case Force = 3000N , displacement = 0.001m, Charge = 3C.
• Work done to move this charge a distance of 0.001m in this field is F x d.
• W = 3000 x 0.001 J = 3 J.
• V = W / Q = 3/ 3 V = 1V.
