You travel along a path from location A to location B, moving in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the net electric field in that region.
What is true of the potential difference ?
An electron starts from rest in a vacuum, in a region of strong field. The electron moves through a potential difference of 44V. (a) What is the kinetic energy of the electron in electron volts (eV)? (b) Which of the following statements would be true if the particle were a proton? Choose both if they are both correct. (1) The kinetic energy of the proton would be negative. (2) The proton would move in the opposite direction from the electron.
We discussed a method for measuring the dielectric constant by placing a slab of the material between the plates of a capacitor. Using this method, what would we get for the dielectric constant if we inserted a slab of metal (not quite touching the plates, of course)?
A thin spherical shell of radius \({R_1}\)made of plastic carries a uniformly distributed negative charge \( - {Q_1}\). A thin spherical shell of radius \({R_2}\)made of glass carries a uniformly distributed positive charge \( + {Q_2}\). The distance between centers is \(L\), as shown in Figure 16.80. (a) Find the potential difference \({V_B} - {V_A}\). Location A is at the center of the glass sphere, and location \(B\) is just outside the glass sphere. (b) Find the potential difference \({V_C} - {V_B}\). Location \(B\) is just outside the glass sphere, and location \(C\) is a distance d to the right of \(B\). (c) Suppose the glass shell is replaced by a solid metal sphere with radius R2 carrying charge \( + {Q_2}\). Would the magnitude of the potential difference \({V_B} - {V_A}\) be greater than, less than, or the same as it was with the glass shell in place? Explain briefly, including an appropriate physics diagram.

A rod uniformly charged with charge -q is bent into a semicircular arc of radius b, as shown in Figure 16.97. What is the potential relative to infinity at location A, at the center of the arc?
