An electron is pushed into an electric field where it acquires a 1-V electrical potential. If two electrons are pushed the same distance into the same electric field, the electrical potential of the two
Electrons is
A) 0.5 V.
B) 0.25 V.
C) 1 V.
D) 2 V.
E) 4 V.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The electrical potential (voltage) at a point in an electric field is independent of the charge placed at that point. Therefore, whether there is one electron or two, the electrical potential they experience at the same location in the electric field remains 1 V.
