A charge of 5 C is moved between two point is an electric field and 20 J of work was done to do so. Calculate the potential difference between the two points.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given, work done , w = 20 J and charge q = 5 C
`:.` The pontential differene between the points,
`DeltaV = (w)/(q) = (20 J)/(5 C) = 4` volt.
