Question
A scientist is busy at work in his lab trying to calculate potential differences. He observes a charge of -4.255x10-6C. that starts at rest in a region of constant, uniform electric field. Assume gravitational effects are negligible. At a time of 12.45s after the charge starts from rest, the scientist named Wade measures that the charge has a kinetic energy of 2.996x10-6J. What would be the potential difference, in volts, the charge will move through after 8.310s?
