Given a charge that moves between two points in space that have a nonzero voltage between them. If charge = 9.00 Coulombs and voltage = 2.00 volts then what is the magnitude of the work done in moving the charge between the two points? 4.00 J 18.0 J 3.00 J 8.00 J 9.00 J

We will use the next formula


V=(W)/(q)

Where V is the voltage, W is the work and q is charge.

In our case

V=2v

q=9 C

We substitute


2=(W)/(9)

We isolate the W


W=2(9)=18\text{ J}

ANSWER

The work done is 18J
