Formula and explanation
Formula: W(AB) = q(V A - V B) = qU(AB) Conditions: A point charge q moving from point A to point B in an electrostatic field. Explanation: The work done by the electric field when moving a charge q is equal to the product of the charge and the potential difference between the two points.
