Question

An electron is brought from rest infinitely far away to rest at point P located at a distance of 0.033 m from a fixed charge q. That process required 111 eV of energy from an eternal agent to perform the necessary work.

Answer 1

Answer:

The potential at point P is -111 Volt.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 0.033 m

Work = 111 ev

Suppose what is the potential at point P?

We need to calculate the potential at point P

Using formula of potential

$W=qV$

$V=\dfrac{W}{q}$

Where, W = work

q = charge

Put the value into the formula

$V= \dfrac{111\times1.6\times10^{-19}}{-1.6\times10^{-19}}$

$V=-111\ V$

Hence, The potential at point P is -111 Volt.
