At one point in space, the electric potential energy of a 20nC charge is 60 μJ. A. What is the electric potential at this point? B.If a 25nC charge were placed at this point, what would its electric potential energy be?
Added by Paula C.
Step 1
The electric potential energy (U) is related to the electric potential (V) and the charge (q) by the formula: U = qV We are given the electric potential energy (U = 60 μJ = 60 × 10^(-6) J) and the charge (q = 20 nC = 20 × 10^(-9) C). We can solve for the Show more…
