Question

The potential difference between two points is 14.9 V when a 0.0400 C charge moves between these points by how much does its potential energy change?

Answer 1

Answer:

The potential energy change is 0.596 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Potential difference =14.9 V

Charge q =0.0400 C

We need to calculate the change potential energy

The potential energy change is the product of the charge and potential difference.

Using formula of change potential energy

$\Delta U=q\Delta V$

$\Delta U=0.0400\times14.9$

$\Delta U=0.596\ J$

Hence, The potential energy change is 0.596 J.
