k = 8.99 x 109 Nm2C−2 1. Convert 5 x 10−13 J to MeV. 2. Convert 0.9 GeV to J. 3. What is the potential energy of an electron at the negatively charged plate of a uniform electric field when the potential difference between the two plates is 100V? 4. What is the potential energy of a 2C charge 2 cm from a 0.5C charge? Remember, coulombs are big! 5. What is represented by the gradient of a graph of electric potential energy against distance from some charge? Force exerted on the charge with that energy.
