Sapling Learning The change in electric potential energy (APE) can be calculated

Question

Sapling Learning The change in electric potential energy (APE) can be calculated using APE-- qAV where qis the charge, and Avis the potental difference through which the charge moves. Rank the change in electric potential energies for the situations described below from lowest to highest. Situation 1: a charge Q moving through a Highest potential difference of Vo Situation 2: a charge 3Q moving through a potential difference of VC. Situation 3: a charge Q moving through a potential difference of Vo /3. Situation 4: a charge Q/3 moving through Lowest a potential difference of Vo/3. Situation 3 Situation 5 Situation 2 Situation 4 stuation 1 Situation 5: a charge 30 moving through a potential difference of 3VC. Up & View solution Check Answer O Next Exit O Previous G Hint

Explanation / Answer

situation 1

P.E1=Q*Vc

situation2

potential energy P.E2=3Q*Vc=3QVc

situation 3

the electric potential energy P.E3=QVc/3

situation 4

the electric potential energy P.E4=QVc/9

situation 5

the electric potential energy P.E5=9 Vc

the rank order

P.E5<P.E2<P.E1<P.E3<P.E4
