Question
The figure below shows a charged particle, with a charge of q = +39.0 nC, that moves a distance of d = 0.197 m from point A to point B in the presence of a uniform electric field E of magnitude 280 N/C, pointing right.
A positive point charge q is initially at point A, then moves a distance d to the right to point B. Electric field vector E points to the right.
 
(a)
What is the magnitude (in N) and direction of the electric force on the particle?
magnitude                                          N
direction ---------------------------
                           
(b)
What is the work (in J) done on the particle by the electric force as it moves from A to B?
                                              J
(c)
What is the change of the electric potential energy (in J) as the particle moves from A to B? (The system consists of the particle and all its surroundings.)
PEB − PEA =                       J
 
(d)
What is the potential difference (in V) between A and B?
VB − VA =  V
