The work done by the electric field in moving a charge is the negative of the potential energy difference between the two locations, which is the product between the magnitude of the charge q and the potential difference \Delta V:
W=-\Delta U=-q\Delta V=-q (V_f -V_i)
The proton charge is q=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C, and the two locations have potential of V_i = +145 V and V_f=-55 V, therefore the work is
W=-(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(-55 V-(+145 V))=3.2 \cdot 10^{-17}J

Suppose that you needed to make a pen for some small animals. You have 12 m of fencing. You decide to make a circular pen, becau
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

1.909 m

Explanation:

Length of fence = 12 m

r = Radius of circle made by the provided fence

Cirumference of a circle is given by

C=2\pi r

The circumference of the circle will be equal to the length of the fence

2\pi r=12

\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{12}{2\pi}

\\\Rightarrow r=1.909\ m

The radius of the fence is 1.909 m
