The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of potential \( V \) given that 100 J of work is done to move a charge of 4 C from a potential of -10 V to a potential of \( V \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the formula for work done in moving a charge in an electric field:** The work done \( W \) in moving a charge \( q \) through a potential difference \( \Delta V \) is given by the formula: \[ W = q \cdot \Delta V \] where \( \Delta V = V_f - V_i \) (final potential minus initial potential). 2. **Identify the initial and final potentials:** Here, the initial potential \( V_i = -10 \, V \) and the final potential is \( V \). Therefore, the potential difference \( \Delta V \) can be expressed as: \[ \Delta V = V - (-10) = V + 10 \] 3. **Substitute the known values into the work done formula:** We know that the work done \( W = 100 \, J \) and the charge \( q = 4 \, C \). Substituting these values into the equation gives: \[ 100 = 4 \cdot (V + 10) \] 4. **Solve for \( V + 10 \):** Rearranging the equation: \[ V + 10 = \frac{100}{4} \] \[ V + 10 = 25 \] 5. **Isolate \( V \):** To find \( V \), subtract 10 from both sides: \[ V = 25 - 10 \] \[ V = 15 \, V \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( V \) is \( 15 \, V \).

To solve the problem, we need to find the value of potential \( V \) given that 100 J of work is done to move a charge of 4 C from a potential of -10 V to a potential of \( V \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the formula for work done in moving a charge in an electric field:** The work done \( W \) in moving a charge \( q \) through a potential difference \( \Delta V \) is given by the formula: \[ W = q \cdot \Delta V ...
