The electric potential at point `A` is `20 V` and at `B` is `-40 V`. Find the work done by an external and electrostatic force in moving an electron slowly from B to A.

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B
Here, the test charge is an electron, i.e.
`q_0=1.6xx10^-19C`
`V_A=20V`
`and V_B=-40V`
work done by external force
`(W_(B-A))_("external force" =q_0(V_A-V_B)`
`=(-1.6xx10^-19)[(20)-(-40)]`
`=-9.6xx10^-18J`
work done electric force
`(W_(B-A))_("electric force")=-(W_(B-A))_("external force")`
`=-(-9.6xx10^-18J)`
`=9.6xx10^-18J`
