Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Electric Field and Potential Difference**
A uniform electric field of 400 V/m is directed at 37.0° below the x-axis as shown in the figure.
- **Point A** is located at (-3.00 m, 0).
- **Point C** is located at (0, 3.00 m).
Find the potential difference:
a) \(V_B - V_A\)
b) \(V_B - V_C\)
**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram contains a set of red parallel lines with arrows indicating the direction of the electric field, which slopes downward at a 37.0° angle below the horizontal x-axis. The y-axis is vertical. Points A, B, and C are marked as follows:
- Point A is on the x-axis at (-3.00 m, 0).
- Point B is on the origin (0,0).
- Point C is on the y-axis at (0, 3.00 m).
These points are marked by black dots on the graph.
