Question: Consider two points in an electric field. The potential at point 1 , V 1 , is 3 1 V . The potential at point

Consider two points in an electric field. The potential at point 1, V1, is 31 V. The potential at point 2, V2, is 186 V. A proton is moved from point 1 to point 2.
(a) Write an equation for the change of electric potential energy .
(b)  Solve for the numerical value of the change of the electric potential energy in electron volts (eV).  
 
 (c)  How much work is done by the electric force during the motion of the proton in J?
