Problem 10P

A uniform electric field with a magnitude of 6350 N/C points in the positive x direction. Find the change in electric potential energy when a +12.5-μC charge is moved 5.50 cm in (a) the positive x direction, (b) the negative x direction, and (c) the positive y direction.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3:-

a)

Here we have to find the change in electric potential energy.

The distance of the charge is,

.

The electric field strength is,

.

The charge is,

.

The change in electric potential energy is,

   

    .

The charge moved from a high potential to low potential.

So, the change in potential energy is .
