Question

A 1 kg mass and a 3 kg mass each with a positive charge Q move through an electric field from a point where the electric potential V= +10 volts to a point of electric potential V= -10 volts. Both masses start from rest. After the masses move through the field, which mass has the greater kinetic energy? Ignore gravity

A. The 1 kg mass

B. The 3 kg mass

C. Or both have the same kinetic Energy

Expert Solution

Step 1

The kinetic energy of a charge is equal to the change in potential energy according to law of conservation of energy.The change in potential energy of a charge Q moving from potential $V_{1} to V_{2}$ is

$PE = Q (V_{2} - V_{1})$
