How is electric potential energy related to charge and electric potential?.
- A.Electric potential energy is the product of charge and electric potential.
- B.Electric potential energy is the sum of charge and electric potential.
- C.Electric potential energy is the difference between charge and electric potential.
- D.Electric potential energy is independent of charge.
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- Electric potential energy is the product of charge and electric potential.
Explanation
Why this works
Electric potential energy (U) is given by the formula U = Q × V, where Q is the charge and V is the electric potential. This relationship shows how electric potential energy depends on both the amount of charge and the electric potential at a point.
