12 volt battery in your car supplies 1700 Joules of energy to run the headlights during a particular nighttime drive. How much charge must have flowed through the battery to provide this much energy? Give your answer as the number of Coulombs.
An x-y coordinate system is on the floor with a charge of +3.6 Coulombs at a location with coordinates x = -4.2 meters, y = 0 meters, and a charge of 1.2 Coulombs at a location with coordinates x = +7.5 meters, y = 0 meters.
What is the potential (voltage) due to these charges, at location x = 0 meters, y = 9.3 meters on the floor using volts?
An electron from location A (electric potential is +5.7 volts) to location B (electric potential is -12 volts). Calculate the change in the electron's electrostatic potential ENERGY when it moves from point A to point B. Give your answer as the number of Joules.
