The correct Answer is:
To find the potential difference between two points when a charge is moved, we can use the relationship between work done (or energy) and electric potential difference. The formula we will use is: \[ V = \frac{W}{Q} \] where: - \( V \) is the potential difference, - \( W \) is the work done (or energy required), - \( Q \) is the charge. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - Energy required \( W = 4 \times 10^{20} \) eV - Charge \( Q = 0.25 \) coulombs 2. **Convert energy from electron volts to joules**: - We know that \( 1 \) eV \( = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \) joules. - Therefore, convert \( W \) to joules: \[ W = 4 \times 10^{20} \, \text{eV} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{J/eV} \] \[ W = 4 \times 1.6 \times 10^{20 - 19} \, \text{J} = 6.4 \times 10^{1} \, \text{J} = 64 \, \text{J} \] 3. **Calculate the potential difference**: - Now, substitute the values into the formula: \[ V = \frac{W}{Q} = \frac{64 \, \text{J}}{0.25 \, \text{C}} \] \[ V = 256 \, \text{V} \] 4. **Conclusion**: - The potential difference between the two points is \( 256 \, \text{V} \). ### Final Answer: The potential difference between the two points is \( 256 \, \text{V} \). ---
