An object with charge q = -6.00 * 10-9 C is placed in a region of uniform electric field and is released from rest at point A. After the charge has moved to point B, 0.500 m to the right, it has kinetic energy 3.00 * 10-7 J.

(a) If the electric potential at point A is +30.0 V, what is the electric potential at point B?

(b) What are the magnitude and direction of the electric field?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The electric potential at B is 80 V.

(b) The magnitude is 100 V/m, and the direction of the magnetic field is point B to point A.

Step by step solution

01

Potential energy

The potential energy of a charge is given by:

U=qV

Here q is the charge, and V is the potential of the charge q.

02

Determine electric potential

(a)

The potential energy of a charge is given by:

U = qV

And the kinetic energy is

KB=3.00×10-7 J

Therefore, from the energy conservation law, total energy will be constant.

EA=EB0+qVA=KB+qVBVA=KBq+VBVB=VA-KBq

Now put the values in the above equation; we get,

VB=VA-KBq=+30.0V-3.00×10-7J-6.00×10-9C=+80.0V

Therefore, the electric potential at B is 80 V.

03

Determine the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field

(b)

The difference between the two points and the electric field are related as:

VA-VB=∫01E.dlVA-VB=E∫01dlVA-VB=ElE=VA-VBl

Here l is the traveled distance which is 0.500 m.

Now put the values in the equation; we get,

E=VA-VBI=30.0V-80.0V0.500m=100V/m

Therefore, the magnitude is 100 V/m, and the direction of the magnetic field is point B to point A
