Vocaloid:

c = q/v, you're given charge and voltage, find c

zarkam21:

B

Vocaloid:

check your calculations again (4*10^(-10))/ 250 = ?

zarkam21:

A

Vocaloid:

perfect

A

zarkam21:

because it would be the inverse

Vocaloid:

the question is talking about charge, potential energy is directly (not inversely) proportional to charge

Vocaloid:

U = kqq/r what would you need to increase q by to increase the potential energy by a factor of 16?

Vocaloid:

in order for U to be 16 times as much as it was before, what would we need to multiply the equation by?

zarkam21:

4

Vocaloid:

keep in mind we are multiplying only one charge if we take U = kqq/r^2 and multiply both sides by 16 16U = 16*kqq/r^2 which means we need to multiply one of the charges by 16 to increase the potential energy

zarkam21:

so b

Vocaloid:

good

D

Vocaloid:

keep in mind if KE is decreasing what must be happening to the speed?

zarkam21:

I know its either c or d

zarkam21:

So c because it is slowing down

Vocaloid:

good

B

zarkam21:

i multiplied both values given to get the amount of work that is done

Vocaloid:

yeah that's right

zarkam21:

C

Vocaloid:

close but not quite, it's not two point charges that are being separated

zarkam21:

OH D

Vocaloid:

well done

zarkam21:

could you explain this to me, I dont understand

Vocaloid:

it's a units question, what are the units of electric potential?

zarkam21:

C

Vocaloid:

good so C = your answer
