Question

An electron is pushed into an electric field from infinity where it acquires a 1-V electrical potential. Suppose instead that two electrons are pushed from infinity the same distance into the same electric field. The electrical potential of the two electrons is ___________.

a) 0.5V
b) 1V
c) 0.25V
d) 4V
e) 2V

Answer 1

Answer:

The electrical potential of the two electrons is 1 V.

(b) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that.

Electric potential = 1 V

We know that,

The electric potential depends on the distance.

The electric potential does not depend on the charge.

The formula of electric potential

$V=Ed$

Where, E = electric field

d = distance

Hence, The electrical potential of the two electrons is 1 V.
