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.
To determine the voltage between where you started and where you ended, you can use the formula:
Work done = Charge * Voltage
Given that the work done on the charged object is 48 J and the charge is 0.1 C, we can rearrange the formula to solve for voltage:
Voltage = Work done / Charge
Substituting the given values:
Voltage = 48 J / 0.1 C
Now, we can calculate the voltage:
Voltage = 480 J/C
Therefore, the voltage between where you started and where you ended is 480 J/C.
work = force * distance = q E d = change in potential energy = qV
48 = .1 V
