Electric Potential Worksheet

1. The potential at a distance of 25 cm from a point charge is -6.4x104 V. What is the value of
the point charge? (-1.8x10-6 C)

2. Calculate the electric potential 0.50 m away from a 4.5x10-4 C point charge. (8.1x106 V)

3. How much energy is acquired by an electron by moving through a potential difference of


2.5x104 V? (4.0x10-15 J)

4. Calculate the magnitude of the electric field in a parallel plate apparatus whose plates are
5.0 mm apart and have a potential difference of 300 V between them. (6.0x104 N/C)

5. The potential difference between two large parallel plates is 450 V. If the plates are 2.0 cm
apart what is the magnitude of the electric field between them? (2.3x104 N/C)

6. The magnitude of the electric field between two parallel plates is 1.5x104 N/C. If the plates
are 1.2 cm apart, what is the potential difference between the plates? (180 V)

7. An electron enters an electric field between two parallel plates 1.5x10-4 m apart with a
velocity of 3.0x105 m/s to the left. Upon exiting the field, the electron has a new velocity of
2.5x106 m/s to the left. Calculate the value of the potential difference between the two
parallel plates. (17.5 V)

8. A proton is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 250 V. Calculate the final
speed of the proton. (2.2x105 m/s)
