five joules of work are needed to shift .5 c of charge from one place to another. the potential differences between the places is

well, since volts = J/C,

5J/.5C = 10V

your ans is wrong because u have to divide them means J/C

but you multiplied them
a
the answer will be 1
J=5
C=5
V=5/5 =1V

To find the potential difference between two places, you can use the formula:

Potential Difference (V) = Work Done (W) / Charge (Q)

Given that 5 joules of work are needed to shift 0.5 coulombs of charge, we can substitute these values into the formula:

V = 5 J / 0.5 C

Now, divide the work done (5 J) by the charge (0.5 C):

V = 10 V

Hence, the potential difference between the two places is 10 volts.
