Measurements show that it takes 0.30 mJ of work to move 5.0-μC of charge from one plate to another of a certain air-filled capacitor while the potential difference between these plates is kept constant.What is the potential difference between the plates of this capacitor?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The potential difference (V) can be calculated using the formula V = W/Q, where W is the work done in joules and Q is the charge in coulombs. Converting 0.30 mJ to joules gives 0.30 x 10^-3 J, and 5.0 μC to coulombs gives 5.0 x 10^-6 C. Thus, V = (0.30 x 10^-3 J) / (5.0 x 10^-6 C) = 60 V.
