Question
A very small object carrying -7 μC of charge is attracted to a large, well-anchored, positively charged object. How much kinetic energy does the negatively charged object gain if the potential difference through which it moves is 2 mV? (k = 1/4πε 0 = 8.99 × 109 N · m2/C2)

Answer:
ΔK.E = 14 nJ
Explanation:
Solution:
– The charge that moves under the influence of an Electric Field produced between a potential difference (V) stores electric potential energy U within that is converted to kinetic energy.
– We will use conservation of energy on the system that contains the charged particle with charge q loses its electric potential energy U as it moves towards positively charged object that converts into a gain in Kinetic energy of the charged particle ΔK.E:
ΔK.E = U
Where,
U = V*q
ΔK.E = V*q
ΔK.E = (7*10^-6)*(2*10^-3)
ΔK.E = 14 nJ
– The gain in kinetic energy is 14 nJ.
