2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
medium

In moving from $A$ to $B$ along an electric field line, the electric field does $6.4 \times {10^{ - 19}}\,J$ of work on an electron. If ${\phi _1},\;{\phi _2}$ are equipotential surfaces, then the potential difference $({V_C} - {V_A})$ is.....$V$

A

$-4$

B

$4$

C

$0$

D

$64$

Solution

(b) Work done by the field $W = q( – dV) = – e({V_A} – {V_B})$
= $e({V_B} – {V_A})$ = $e({V_C} – {V_A})$          $(\because V_B = V_C)$ 
$==>$ $({V_C} – {V_A})$ $ = \frac{W}{e} = \frac{{6.4 \times {{10}^{ – 19}}}}{{1.6 \times {{10}^{ – 19}}}} = 4\,V$
