  • Option 1)

    -4V

  • Option 2)

    4V

  • Option 3)

As we have learnt,

 

Potential energy Per unit charge -

V =\frac{W}{Q}=\frac{U}{Q}

- wherein

S.I unit is \frac{J}{C}.

 

 

 

Work done by the field

W = q(-dV) =-e (V_A - V_B) = -e(V_B - V_A) = e(V_C - V_A) \\*\Rightarrow (V_C - V_A) = \frac{W}{e} = \frac{6.4\times 10^{-19}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}} = 4V


Option 1)

-4V

Option 2)

4V

Option 3)

Zero

Option 4)

64V
