Question

What change in potential energy does a 4 uC charge experience when it moves between two positions that differ in potential by 80 V?
Options
A 5 x 10-8 J
B 3.2 x 10-4 J
Correct Answer
C 2 x 10-5 J
D 32 J
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Change in potential energy: dU = q dV = (4x10-6)(80) = 3.2x10-4 J.

Hint

Change in potential energy: dU = q dV = (4x10-6)(80) = 3.2x10-4 J.
