The electric potential energy of the charge is equal to the potential at the location of the charge, V, times the charge, q:
The potential is given by the magnitude of the electric field, E, times the distance, d:
So we have
(1)
However, the electric field is equal to the electrical force F divided by the charge q:
Therefore (1) becomes
And if we use the data of the problem, we can calculate the electrical potential energy of the charge:
Answer:
B. Glass
Explanation:
An electrical insulator is a substance that does not conduct electricity.
Glass has tightly bounded electrons, that is why it is an insulator of electricity.
Isaac Newton’s second law of motion
Assuming all the substances are already at the temperature that is their melting point, we only need to worry about the heat required to change state, not the heat required to change temperature.
No calculations necessary for this question - just look at the latent heat of fusion. The higher this value, the more heat required per unit mass of the substance to melt it. Of the four answer options, aluminum has the highest value and therefore will take the most heat to melt the same mass.
