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.
Answer:
I know the first one is C.) 4J. I don't know of the answer for the second oneis suppose to be in N/m form? but I got
2,500N/m
