Homework Statement



if 1.0 joule of work is required to move 1.0 coulomb of charge between two point in an eletric field the potential difference between the two point is

1) 1 .0 x 10 exponenet 0 v
2) 9.0 x 10 exponenet 9 v
3) 6.3 x 10 exponenet 18 v
4) 1.6 x 10 expeonent -19 v

Homework Equations



i think there is an equation for it does anyone know?

Hi zelda1850! :smile:

(try using the X2 tag just above the Reply box :wink:)

Potential difference = potential energy per charge, and work is a form of energy. :wink:
 
oh so potienal difference is 1.0 too then?
 
Looks like it! :smile:
