uniform electric field of magnitude 365 N/C pointing in the positive x-direction acts on an electron, which is initially at rest. The electron has moved 3.00 cm. (a) What is the work done by the field on the electron? 1.753e-18 J (b) What is the change in potential energy associated with the electron? J

a)   W = - 1.752 10⁻¹⁸ J,  b)    U = + 1.752 10⁻¹⁸ J

Explanation:

a) work is defined by

         W = F . x

the bold letters indicate vectors, in this case the force is electric

         F = q E

we substitute

         F = q E x

the charge of the electron is

         q = - e

         F = - e E x

let's calculate

         W = - 1.6 10⁻¹⁹  365  3 10⁻²

         W = - 1.752 10⁻¹⁸ J

b) the change in potential energy is

          U = q ΔV

the potential difference is

          ΔV = - E. Δs

we substitute

         U = - q E Δs

the charge of the electron is

           q = - e

          U = e E Δs

we calculate

           U = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 365  3 10⁻²

           U = + 1.752 10⁻¹⁸ J

the largest known star in the universe is uy scuti, a hypergiant with a radius around 1,700 times larger than the

the moon affects the earth gravitation ally, causing certain motions of that body and also producing tides in its ocean and atmosphere. the tidal wave in our atmosphere is, however, far too minute to be an effective cause in any known meteorological phenomenon.
