If 28.0 J of work is done by an external force to move a charge from a potential of 8.0 V 8.0 V to a potential of 4.0 V , 4.0 V, what is the change in electric potential energy?

Change in electric potential energy is -28.0 J

Explanation:

Electric potential energy is defined as the work is done to move a charge particle from one position to another in space in the presence of other charge particle or electric potential.

                                               OR

Electric potential energy is also equal to the change in the configuration of the charge particles.

Thus,

Change in electric potential energy = - Work Done

According to the problem, Work Done is equal to 28 J. Thus,

Change in electric potential energy = -28 J  

the answer is ampere

the ampere is used to measure electricity. an ampere is a unit of electric current equal. a unit of measure for the flow of current in a circuit. one ampere is the amount of current flow provided when one volt of electrical pressure is applied against one ohm of resistance.
