Question
what is the potential difference between two points, if 2J of work must be done to move a 4 mC charge from one point to another is:
✓
Answer
- 500 V
The total work done = energy transferred.
So, we might see the equation energy = voltage x charge, E = V × Q, written as,
work = voltage x charge, W = V × Q.
In this case, the charge is 4 mC, that is, 0.004 C and work done is 2J.
