A \(200\) J of work is done in moving a charge \(5\) C from a point A where the potential is \(-20\) V to another point B where potential is V volt. The value of V at B is

  1. A \(10\) V
  2. B \(20\) V
  3. C \(40\) V
  4. D \(60\) V
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(20\) V

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The work done in moving a charge \(q\) from point A to point B is given by \(W = q(V_B - V_A)\).

Substituting the given values:

\(200 = 5(V - (-20))\)

\(200 = 5(V + 20)\)

\(V + 20 = 40\)

\(V = 20\) V

Answer: \(20\) V
