How much work does the electric field do in moving a proton from a point with a potential of +155V to a point where it is -50V ?
A) Express your answer in joules.
B) Express your answer in electron volts.
Here is what I solved before, please modify the figures as per your question. Please let me know if you have further questions. Ifthis helps then kindly rate 5-stars.
How much work does an electric field do in moving a proton from a point with a potential of +125V to a point where it is -55V? Express your answer in both joules and electron-volts.
Proton moving from a point with Potentialdifference + 125 V to -
55 V
            Potential
difference ?V = 125 V + 55 V
                                                  =
180 V
      Work done is q ?V
                                   W
= 1.6 *10-19 C * 180 V
                                           =
288 *10-19 J
                                        W
= 288 *10-19 J / 1.6 *10-19 C
                                                =
180 e V
