A charge `2 muC` is taken from inifinity point in an electric field, without changing its velocity. If work done against eletrostatic forces is `-40 mu J`, then find the potential at that point.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`V=W_("ext")/(q)=(-40 muJ)/(2 mu C)=-20 V`
Note : Always remember to put sign of W and q.
