A particle with a charge of 5.90nC is in a uniform electric field directed to the left. Another force, in addition to the electric force, acts on the particle so that when it is released from rest, it moves to the right. After it has moved a distance of 8.50cm , the additional force has done an amount of work equal to 8.50×10−5J and the particle has kinetic energy equal to 3.75×10−5J . What work was done by the electric force?

A particle with a charge of + 4.20nC is in a uniform electric field E directed to the left. It is released from rest and moves to the left; after it has moved 6.00 cm, its kinetic energy is found to be + 1.50*10^ -6 J.

What work was done by the electric force?
What is the potential of the starting point with respect to the endpoint?
What is the magnitude of E?

The work done gave the particle the kinetic energy change it acquired:
W = Δ(KE) = 1.50×10^-6 joule

q.ΔU = W
ΔU = W / q = 1.50×10^-6 / 4.20×10^-9 = 357 volts

E = U/d = 357 / 6.00×10^-2 = 5,952 V/m



A particle with a charge of 4.30 nC is in a uniform electric field E directed to the left. It is released from rest and moves to the left; after it has moved 8.00 cm, its kinetic energy is found to be 1.50×10−6 J.

Part A.

What work was done by the electric force?

W= J

Part B.

What is the potential of the starting point with respect to the endpoint?

ΔV= V

Part C.

What is the magnitude of E?

E= V/m

The work done gave the particle the kinetic energy change it acquired:
W = Δ(KE) = 1.50×10^-6 joule

q.ΔU = W
ΔU = W / q = 1.50×10^-6 / 4.30×10^-9 = 349 volts


E = U/d = 349 / 6.00×10^-2 = 5816.66 V/m
