A particle (charge = +0.8 mC) moving in a region where only electric forces act on it has a kinetic energy of 6.7 J at point A. The particle subsequently passes through point B which has an electric potential of +1.5 kV relative to point A. Determine the kinetic energy of the particle as it moves through point B.

The kinetic energy of the particle as it moves through point B is 7.9 J.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the particle is:

Where:

K: is the kinetic energy

: is the potential energy

q: is the particle's charge = 0.8 mC

ΔV: is the electric potential = 1.5 kV                                    

Now, the kinetic energy of the particle as it moves through point B is:

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the particle as it moves through point B is 7.9 J.

I hope it helps you!      

this could be newton#'s law of cooling. the cooling curve is exponential
