Question

A charge of $5C$ experience a force of $5000N$ when it is kept in a uniform electric field. What is the potential difference between two points separated by a distance of $1cm$

• A. $10V$
• B. $250V$
• C. $1000V$
• D. $2500V$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $10V$

Given,

Electrostatic Force $F=qE......\left(1\right)$

Where,

$q=charge$

$E=electricfield$

Potential difference $V=Ed......\left(2\right)$

Where,

$E=Electricfield$

$d=seperation$

From (1) and (2)

$V=\frac{Fd}{q}=\frac{5000\times 0.01}{5}=10V$

Hence, what is the potential difference between two points separated by a distance of $1cm$ is $10V$
