Electric Potential Difference — Quiz

Question 8 • Physics

How are electric potential difference and electric potential energy related?

Answer
A
Electric potential energy is the charge divided by the electric potential difference.
B
Electric potential energy is the electric potential difference divided by the charge.
C
Electric potential difference is the difference in electric potential energy divided by the charge.
D
Electric potential difference is the charge divided by the difference in electric potential energy.

Explanation

Electric potential difference is the change in electric potential energy per unit charge: ΔV = ΔU/q. So divide the difference in electric potential energy by the charge to find the potential difference. This matches choice C.
