A charge of 50 µC is pushed by a force of 25 µN a distance of 15 m in an electric field. What is the electric potential difference? Recall that Fe = qE.

Respuesta :

Electric potential differnce is defined as:
[tex]\Delta V=\int_{a}^{b}E\cdot dl[/tex]
If we asume the electric field is constant we get:
[tex]\Delta V=\int_{a}^{b}E\cdot dl=E\Delta L[/tex]
We need to calculate the electic field strenght:
[tex]F=qE\\ [/tex]
[tex]E= F/q\\ E=\frac{25\cdot 10^{-6}}{50 \cdot 10^{-6}}=0.5 \frac{V}{m}[/tex]
We can now calculate the potential difference:
[tex]\Delta V=E\Delta L=0.5 \frac{V}{m}\cdot15m=7.5V[/tex]

Answer:

ΔV = 7.5 V
