Physics Question on electrostatic potential and capacitance
Two points P and Q are maintained at the potentials of 10V and −4V respectively. The work done in moving 100 electrons from P to Q is
A
−19?10−17J
B
9.60?10−17J
C
−2.24?10−16J
D
2.24?10−16J
Answer
2.24?10−16J
Explanation
Solution
W=QdV=Q(Vq−Vp)=−100?(1.6?10−19)?(−4−10) =+100?1.6?10−19?14=+2.2410−16J.
