Problem 25.2: Find the work done
Please wait for the animation to completely load.
An equipotential plot is shown in the animation (position is given in meters and electric potential is given in volts). The electric potential is shown next to the electron. You can drag the red electron with the mouse. How much work must an external force do in order to move the red electron from [x, y] = [1.1m, -1.5 m] to [x, y] = [-1.6 m, 1.2 m]? Restart.
