A potential at a point A is -3 V and that at another point B is 5 V . What is the work done in carrying a charge of 5 m C from B to A ?
Options
- A-0.04 J
- B-0.4 J
- C-4 J
- D-40 J
Correct answer
A. -0.04 J
Step-by-step solution
aligned & Wext =q V & =q (V_f-V_i ) & =5 10⁻³ (V_A-V_B ) & =5 10⁻³(-3-5) & =-8 5 10⁻³ ~J & =-40 10⁻³ ~J & =-0.04 ~J aligned
