When a -3.72*10^-4 C charge
moves from point A to point B, its
electric potential energy increases
by 0.218 J. What is the potential
difference between A and B?
Include the correct sign, + or - .

Respuesta :

The potential difference between A and B is -586.02 V, when the potential energy increases by 0.218 J.

Potential difference between A and B

The potential difference between A and B is determined as follows;

W = qΔV

where;

  • W is the work done
  • q is the charge
  • ΔV is the potential difference

The potential difference between A and B is calculated as follows;

ΔV = W/q            

(U = -W) and U = 0.218 J

ΔV = -0.218/(3.72 x 10⁻⁴)

ΔV = -586.02 V

Thus, the potential difference between A and B is -586.02 V, when the potential energy increases by 0.218 J.
