Question
there is a 12 v potential difference between the positive and negative ends of the jumper cables, which are a short distance apart. an electron at the negative end ready to jump to the positive end has a certain amount of potential energy. on what quantities does this electrical potential energy depend? view available hint(s) only the distance between the ends of the cables only the potential difference between the ends of the cables only the charge on the electron only the distance and the potential difference only the distance and the charge only the potential difference and the charge the potential difference, charge, and distance
The electrical potential energy ($U$) of a charge ($q$) in an electric - field is given by $U = qV$, where $V$ is the potential difference. So the electrical potential energy of an electron depends on the charge of the electron ($q$) and the potential difference ($V$) between the two ends of the jumper cables. The distance between the ends is not directly in the formula for electrical potential energy in this context.
