Consider work being done on a positive test charge by an external force in moving the charge from one location to another. In this case, the potential energy _________ (increases, decreases) and the electric potential _________ (increases, decreases).

Respuesta :

Answer:

the potential energy increases and the electric potential increases

Explanation:

we know here that Voltage i.e. (Electric potential) increases from the initial point  to the final point

consider if 2 object of different charge 1 is twice the charge of other moveing in same distance in electric filed

than object of twice the charge require twice the force so twice amount of work

This work change the potential energy by  equal amount of work done

so electric potential energy is depend on the amount of charge on object

so if work being done on a positive test charge by an external force in moving the charge from one location to another

the potential energy increases and the electric potential increases

When a positive test charge is moved from one location to another, the potential energy increases and the electric potential energy increases.

Potential energy

The work done in moving a unit positive test charge from infinity to a certain point in the electric field is known as potential energy.

V = E x d

V = (F/q) x d

where;

  • V is the potential energy
  • E is electric field
  • d is the distance
  • F is the electric force

Thus, when a positive test charge is moved from one location to another, the potential energy increases and the electric potential energy increases.
