Question

We increase the magnitude of the electric field to E = 119 v/m and repeat the experiment with the same Q = +5.40C particle. Calculate the net change in the electric potential energy [Be sure the sign of your answer accurately reflects whether the particle gained or lost potential energy in moving from point (A) to point(B) in this experiment]

A particle of net charge, +Q, in a uniform, upwardly-directed electric field is moved from point (A) to point (B) along the path shown in the figure below. We
want to calculate the voltage difference between the end point, (B), and the start point, (A), for the particle.
