Question

consider a region in space where a uniform electric fieldE=5500N/C points in the negative x direction b) if you move in the positive x direction, how does theelectric potential change? 1. it increases 2. it decreased 3. it stays the same c) what is the distance between the +14V and the +19vequipotentials? consider a region in space where a uniform electric fieldE=5500N/C points in the negative x direction b) if you move in the positive x direction, how does theelectric potential change? 1. it increases 2. it decreased 3. it stays the same c) what is the distance between the +14V and the +19vequipotentials?

Explanation / Answer

the electric potential change is increases. Potential difference dV = 19 V - 14 V = 5 V we know   dV = E d from this the distance between the +14V and the +19vequipotentials is d = dV / E                                                                                                                 = 5 V / (5500 N / C)                                                                                                                 = 9.09 * 10 ^ -4 m
