Question
The potential difference between two points is 20 volts. How much work will be required to move $4 \times 10^{-4}$ coulombs charge from one point to another?

Answer

Work $(W)=$ Charge $(q)$ $\times$ potential difference (V)
$=4 \times 10^{-4} \times 20=8 \times 10^{-3}$ joules

Suppose we define a quantity 'Linear Pomentum' as linear pomentum = mass × speed. The linear pomentum of a system of particles is the sum of linear pomenta of the individual particles. Can we state a principle of conservation of linear pomentum as ''linear pomentum of a system remains constant if no external force acts on it?''
