Chapter 23: Problem 23
A uniform electric field has magnitude \(E\) and is directed in the negative \(x\)-direction. The potential difference between point \(a\) (at \(x =\) 0.60 m) and point \(b\) (at \(x =\) 0.90 m) is 240 V. (a) Which point, \(a\) or \(b\), is at the higher potential? (b) Calculate the value of \(E\). (c) A negative point charge \(q = -\)0.200 \(\mu\)C is moved from \(b\) to \(a\). Calculate the work done on the point charge by the electric field.
