Complete Question :

A particle with a charge of is +4.2 nC in a uniform electric field 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: a. What work was done by the electric force? b. What is the potential of the starting point with respect to the endpoint? c. What is the magnitude of E?

Answer:

a) Work done by the electric force = W = 2.20 x 10^-6

b) Potential of the starting point with respect to end point = 523.80 V

c) Magnitude of E = 8.73 x 10^3 N/C

Explanation:

a) The charge has moved from point a to point b, hence the work done basically equals the change in kinetic energy.

Hence ,

                           W(a to b)= ΔK = Kb-Ka

                           W(a to b) = Kb

                           W(a to b) = 2.20 x 10^-6

b)            W(a to b)/q = Va - Vb

                Va - Vb = W(a to b) / q

                              =2.20 x  10^-6 J / 4.20 x 10^-9

                              =523.80 V

c)              E = Va - Vb / l = 523.80 V / 0.060 = 8.73 x 10^3 N/C

a) Work done by the electric force should be [tex]W = 2.20 \times 10^-6[/tex]

b) Potential of the starting point with respect to end point should be 523.80 V.

c) Magnitude of E = [tex]8.73 \times 10^3 N/C[/tex].

Calculation of the work done, magnitude:

a)

Since The charge has moved from point a to point b, so the work done basically should be equivalent to the change in kinetic energy.

So,

                          W(a to b)= ΔK = Kb-Ka

                          W(a to b) = Kb

                          W(a to b) = [tex]2.20 \times 10^-6[/tex]

b)          

Now

[tex]W(a\ to\ b)\div q = Va - Vb[/tex]

               Va - Vb = [tex]W(a\ to\ b) \div q[/tex]

                          [tex]=2.20 \times 10^-6 J \div 4.20 \times 10^{-9}[/tex]

                             =523.80 V

c)  [tex]E = Va - Vb \div l = 523.80 V \div 0.060[/tex]

=[tex]8.73 \times 10^3 N/C[/tex]
