Answer:
108.7 V
Explanation:
Two forces are acting on the particle:
- The external force, whose work is
- The force of the electric field, whose work is equal to the change in electric potential energy of the charge:
where
q is the charge
is the potential difference
The variation of kinetic energy of the charge is equal to the sum of the work done by the two forces:
and since the charge starts from rest, , so the formula becomes
In this problem, we have
is the work done by the external force
is the charge
is the final kinetic energy
Solving the formula for , we find
