Question

What is the potential difference between two points if 2.0x10^3 J is required to move 1 C between the points?

Answer 1

ANSWER

$2\cdot10^3V$

EXPLANATION

To find the potential difference between the two points, we have to apply the relationship between work done by an electric field and potential difference:

$W=q\Delta V$

where q = charge

ΔV = potential difference

Hence, the potential difference is:

$\begin{gathered} \Delta V=\frac{W}{q} \\ \Delta V=\frac{2\cdot10^3}{1} \\ \Delta V=2\cdot10^3V=2kV \end{gathered}$

That is the answer.
