If you wanted to move an electron from the positive to the negative terminal of the battery, how much work W would you need to do on the electron

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

Work is done against a potential V to move a charge i.e. electron from positive terminal to negative terminal .

The magnitude of work is given by

[tex]W=\Delta V\cdot q[/tex]

where [tex]\Delta V=[/tex]Potential difference between the battery

q=charge on electron([tex]1.6\times 10^{19}\ C[/tex])    

Answer:

W = qV

Explanation:

Let V be the potential difference of the battery, and q be the charge on the electron.

The work done in moving a charge through a potential difference V =?

Work = force * distance

Work = F.r

F = qE

But E = V / r

F = q. V / r

Work ( W ) = (qV/ r ) * r

Work = qV

Therefore the force required to move a charge through a potential difference V = qV
