Question

Consider a uniform electric field of 50 N/C directed toward the east. If the voltage measured relative to ground at a given point in the field is 80 V, what is the voltage at a point 1.0 m directly east of the point

Answer 1

30 V

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The uniform electric field = 50 N/C

Voltage = 80 V

distance = 1.0 m

The potential difference of the electric field = Δ V

E_d = V₁ - V₂

50 × 1 = 80V - V₂

50 - 80 V = - V₂

-30 V = - V₂

V₂ = 30 V
