ANSWER


2\cdot10^3V

Step-by-step explanation

To find the potential difference between the two points, we have to apply the relationship between work done by an electric field and potential difference:


W=q\Delta V

where q = charge

ΔV = potential difference

Hence, the potential difference is:


\begin{gathered} \Delta V=(W)/(q) \\ \Delta V=(2\cdot10^3)/(1) \\ \Delta V=2\cdot10^3V=2kV \end{gathered}

That is the answer.
