Problem
Point X is 5 cm from a small, positively charged sphere of charge 6.0 mC . Point Y is 10 cm from the sphere.
(a) Calculate the electrical potential difference between points X and Y.
(b) Calculate the work required to move a charge of 2.0μC from point Y to point X. (Assume that the charged sphere does not move.)
(c) Suppose that the 2.0μC charge has zero kinetic energy when it arrives at point Y. Suggest what will happen to the 2.0μC charge.
