A 200 J of work is done in moving a charge 5 C from a point A where the potential is -20 V to another point B where potential is V volt. The value of V at B is
Options
- A10 V
- B20 V
- C40 V
- D60 V
Correct answer
B. 20 V
Step-by-step solution
The work done in moving a charge q from point A to point B is given by W = q(V_B - V_A) . Substituting the given values: 200 = 5(V - (-20)) 200 = 5(V + 20) V + 20 = 40 V = 20 V Answer: 20 V
