Acharge q of magnitude 6.4 × 10-19 coulombs moves from point a to point b in an electric field of 6.5 × 104 newtons/coulomb. the distance between a and b is 1.2 × 10-2 meters and the path between a and b is parallel to the field. what is the magnitude of the difference in the potential energy? a. 1.2 × 10-15 joules b. 2.3 × 10-15 joules c. 3.2 × 10-15 joules d. 6.4 × 10-15 joules e. 6.4 × 10-14 joules

The correct answer is not present in the options given. The right answer is as the unit of potential energy difference is

Explanation:

The electric potential energy is the amount of work done to move a point charge from one point to another. The difference in the potential energy can be derived as the change in the potential energy in different points.

As it is known that potential energy is directly proportional to the electric field in which the point charge exists, the representation will be

Here, E is the electric field, V is the potential energy and d is the distance of the point charge to be moved.

So, if we need to move a charge q from point A to B, the change in potential energy will be

Thus,

So the correct answer is not present in the options given. The right answer is as the unit of potential energy difference is J/C.

ya te mando la respuesta

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

hope this !
