How Much Work Must We Do on an Electron to Move

Question 18

Multiple Choice

How much work must we do on an electron to move it from point AA , which is at a potential of +50 V+ 50 \mathrm {~V} , to point B\mathrm { B } , which is at a potential of 50 V- 50 \mathrm {~V} , along the semicircular path shown in the figure? Assume the system is isolated from outside forces. (e=1.60×1019C) \left( e = 1.60 \times 10 ^ { - 19 } \mathrm { C } \right)
