Answer:

Potential difference, V = -0.000224 Volts

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Quantity of charge = 6.93*10-4 C

Energy = -3.09 J

To find the electric potential V at that point?

Mathematically, the energy transferred per unit of charge is given by the formula;

E = QV

Where:

E is the energy

Q is the quantity of charge

V is the potential difference.

Substituting into the formula, we have;


-3.09 = 6.93*10^(-4) * V


V = \frac {6.93*10^(-4)}{-3.09}

Potential difference, V = -0.000224 Volts
