When an electron moves 2.5 m in the direction of an electric field, the change in electrical potential energy of the electron is
anygoal [31]
In the field of electromagnetism, when two charged plates that are situated opposite to each other by a certain distance, it forms an energy called the electric field. This energy is due to the difference in potential energy with respect to distance. Thus,

E = V/d

However, the voltage in volts is energy per coulomb. Thus,
V = (8x10-17 J/electron)*(1electron/1.60218x10^-19 C)
V = 499.32 volts

Therefore,

E = 499.32 volts /2.5 m
E = 199.73 N/C

The electric field that caused the change in potential energy is equal to 199.73 Newtons per Coulomb.

How do you convert mass to weight and visa versa
Darina [25.2K]
To change from mass to weight is Fw = 30 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 294 N. To change from weight to mass divide by gravity (9.8 m/s^2).

alekssr [168]

Answer:the

8/9 h

Explanation:

Height  =   1/2 a T^2     now change to T/3

 now height = 1/2 a (T/3)^2   =<u> 1/9</u>  1/2 a T^2     <===== it is 1/9 of the way down   or   8/9 h
