Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 12.109 Electric Potential Energy and Voltage skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Use the energy table for a particle moving only under electric forces. Which row is inconsistent with conservation of mechanical energy?

ARow A: K = 2 J and U = 8 J

BRow B: K = 5 J and U = 5 J

CRow D: K = 1 J and U = 9 J

DRow C: K = 7 J and U = 2 J

Solution & Explanation:With only electric forces, K + U should stay constant. Rows A, B, and D total 10 J, while row C totals 9 J.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

An electron is placed 0.20 m from an isolated -5.0 microC source charge. Taking V = 0 at infinity, what is the electron's electric potential energy in electron-volts? Use k = 9.0 x 10⁹ N m²/C².

A-2.25 x 10⁵ eV

B+4.5 x 10⁴ eV

C+2.25 x 10⁵ eV

D-4.5 x 10⁴ eV

Solution & Explanation:The potential from the source is V = kQ/r = -2.25 x 10⁵ V. For an electron, U = (-e)V, so the potential energy is +2.25 x 10⁵ eV.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A source slowly moves +0.40 C of charge from a terminal at -6.0 V to a terminal at +6.0 V. What minimum energy must the source supply to the charge?

A2.4 J

B4.8 J

C0 J

D12 J

Solution & Explanation:The charge's potential energy increases by q delta V = (0.40 C)(12 V) = 4.8 J. A slow source must supply that energy.
