`A` and `B` are two points in an electric field . If the work done in carrying `4.0 C` of electric charge from `A` to `B` is `16.0 J`, the potential difference between `A` and `B` is

A

zero

B

2.0V

C

4.0V

D

16.0V

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Since `W_(AtoB)=q(V_(B)-V_(A))impliesV_(B)-V_(A)=16/4=4V`
