Question

The figure below shows a charged particle, with a charge of q = +42.0 nC, that moves a distance of d = 0.184 m from point A to point B in the presence of a uniform electric field E of magnitude 285 N/C, pointing right.

 

a) What is the magnitude (in N) and direction of the electric force on the particle?

b) What is the work (in J) done on the particle by the electric force as it moves from A to B?

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.)

d) What is the potential difference (in V) between A and B?
