2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
easy

The work done in carrying a charge of $5\,\mu \,C$ from a point $A$ to a point $B$ in an electric field is $10\,mJ$. The potential difference $({V_B} - {V_A})$ is then

A

$+ 2\,kV$

B

$-2\, kV$

C

$+ 200\, V$

D

$-200\, V$

Solution

(a) Work done $W = Q({V_B} – {V_A}) \Rightarrow \,({V_B} – {V_A}) = \frac{W}{Q}$ $ = \frac{{10 \times {{10}^{ – 3}}}}{{5 \times {{10}^{ – 6}}}}J/C = 2\,kV$
