The discussion revolves around calculating the potential difference between two points, A and B, in a uniform electric field defined by E=(4i+3j) N/C. Participants are exploring the relationship between electric fields and electric potential.
The discussion is ongoing, with participants seeking clarification on concepts and relationships rather than reaching a consensus. Some guidance is offered in the form of questions that prompt further exploration of the topic.
Participants indicate a lack of clarity on relevant equations and concepts, highlighting the need for foundational understanding in the context of the problem.
How is the electric field related to the potential?Bearbull24.5 said:Homework Statement
Point A (2,3)m and point B (5,7)m are in a region where electric field is uniform and given by E=(4i+3j)N/C. What is potential diff Va-Vb?

Not a clue
The Attempt at a Solution
I tried converting the (4i+3j) into magnitude and that is as far as I got. Not a clue what to do next
It is indeed. So how does that relate to your problem?Bearbull24.5 said:Isnt the potential the energy required to move a charge in an electric field?
