The problem involves calculating the work done in charging a parallel plate capacitor to a specific electric potential using a given number of electrons. The subject area includes concepts from electrostatics and energy in capacitors.
Some participants have provided alternative perspectives on the formulas applicable to the problem, suggesting the need for a more nuanced approach due to the variable nature of potential as charge accumulates. There is an ongoing exploration of the correct units and calculations.
Participants note that the charge is expressed in terms of electrons, which requires conversion to standard units, and there is mention of potential discrepancies in the formulas used for energy calculations.
Here you have rearranged incorrectly. Also, you have entered the charge in non-standard units. The charge is given as a certain number of electron charges, and this number must be multiplied by the charge in Coulombs on one electron.Delta V= Delta PE/ q
rearrange to q * PE = 3.78E16 *334= 1.26E19
