Question
12 J of work has to be done against an existing electric field to take a charge of 0.01 C from A to B. How much is the potential difference VB − VA?
Advertisements
Solution
Given:
Charge, q = 0.01 C,
Work done, W = 12 J
Now, work done = potential difference × charge
W = (VB − VA) × q
VB − VA = `12/0.01 = 1200` V
