12.4 Electric Potential
Oxford Fajar

[Answer: (a) 356 V m – 1 (b) The electron is charged negative, so the electric force on the electron is in the opposite
direction to the electric field and the direction of motion of the electron. Hence the electron decelerates. The
electron stops momentarily when all its initi
initial
al kinetic energy is transformed into electrical potential energy.
(c) Subsequently, the electric force on the electron causes the electron to accelerate in the opposite direction.]

[Answer: (a) The sphere is positively charged because the electric po potential
decreases as the distance from the sphere increases. (b) 0.024 J (c) 0 J (d) (i) 100 V
(ii) 2.0×10 – 4 J (iii) 0.0286 N (iv) 1.43×10 4 N C – 1 (v) 1.78×10 – 8 C (e) 8000 V]
