Two metallic terminals protrude from a device. The terminal on the left is the positive reference for a voltage called v. (the other terminal is the negative reference). The terminal on the right is the positive reference for a voltage called vy (the other terminal being the negative reference). If it takes 1 mJ of energy to push a single electron (Q = 1.602 x 10-19 C) into the left terminal and out of the right terminal, determine the voltages vx and vy.

Question
Two metallic terminals protrude from a device. The terminal on the left is the positive reference for a
voltage called vx (the other terminal is the negative reference). The terminal on the right is the positive
reference for a voltage called vy (the other terminal being the negative reference). If it takes 1 mJ of
energy to push a single electron (Q = 1.602 × 10-¹⁹ C) into the left terminal and out of the right terminal,
determine the voltages vx and vy.
