The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the Electric Field (E) We know that the electric field (E) can be calculated using the formula: \[ E = \frac{F}{q} \] where: - \( F \) is the force experienced by the charge, - \( q \) is the charge. Given: - \( F = 3000 \, \text{N} \) - \( q = 3 \, \text{C} \) Substituting the values: \[ E = \frac{3000 \, \text{N}}{3 \, \text{C}} = 1000 \, \text{N/C} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Potential Difference (V) The potential difference (V) between two points in an electric field can be calculated using the formula: \[ V = E \times d \] where: - \( d \) is the distance between the two points. Given: - \( d = 1 \, \text{cm} = 0.01 \, \text{m} \) (convert centimeters to meters) Substituting the values: \[ V = 1000 \, \text{N/C} \times 0.01 \, \text{m} = 10 \, \text{V} \] ### Final Answer The potential difference between the two points is \( 10 \, \text{V} \). ---
