Coach's note
Separate field and potential cleanly
Your diagrams and directions are secure. The next gain is choosing the correct field or potential equation immediately.
- Direction — Your force and field directions were correct.
- Quantities — Potential and field strength were mixed in one calculation.
Write the quantity and unit beside each symbol before substituting.
One linked fields problem should sharpen that choice.
Latest marks & feedback
