Question 5

A microscopic dust grain in an industrial electrostatic precipitator has a net positive charge of 1.6×10−14 C1.6 \times 10^{-14}\text{ C}1.6×10−14 C and is located at a point where the electric potential is +2.5 kV+2.5\text{ kV}+2.5 kV.

What is the electrical potential energy of the dust grain at this point?
