Open Question
A point charge q_1=+2.40 μC is held stationary at the origin. A second point charge q_2=-4.30 μC moves from the point x=0.150 m, y=0 to the point x=0.250 m, y=0.250 m. How much work is done by the electric force on q_2?

Understand that the work done by a battery is calculated using the formula: \( W = V \times Q \), where \( W \) is the work done in joules, \( V \) is the voltage in volts, and \( Q \) is the charge in coulombs.
Identify the given values in the problem: the voltage \( V = 12 \text{ V} \) and the charge \( Q = 2.4 \text{ C} \).
Substitute the given values into the formula: \( W = 12 \text{ V} \times 2.4 \text{ C} \).
Perform the multiplication to find the work done: \( W = 12 \times 2.4 \).
The result of this multiplication will give you the work done by the battery in joules.
