You push a charge of 0.1C through an electric field. Through this process, you do 48 J of work on the charged object. Determine the voltage between where you started and where you ended.

Question

You push a charge of 0.1C through an electric field.  Through this process, you do 48 J of work on the charged object.  Determine the voltage between where you started and where you ended.

Damon · Answer

work = force * distance = q E d = change in potential energy = qV 48 = .1 V
