If you do 10 J of work to push 1 coulomb of charge into an electric field, its voltage with respect to its starting position is
A)less than 10 V.
B)10 V.
C)more than 10 V.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Voltage is defined as the amount of energy per unit charge required to move a charge from one point to another in an electric field. In this case, we are given that 10 J of work is done to push 1 coulomb of charge into the electric field. Therefore, the voltage can be calculated as:
Voltage = Work/Charge
Voltage = 10 J / 1 C
Voltage = 10 V
Hence, the answer is B, which means the voltage is exactly 10 V.
