Practice 4 V1

This document contains 10 practice problems related to Chapter 4 of the textbook EL312 Electromagnetic Field Theory. The problems involve calculating work done by electric fields along different paths, as well as finding electric potentials given information about reference points or field configurations. Specifically: - Problem 1 involves calculating work done moving a charge along different paths through an electric field. - Problem 2 calculates work done moving a charge between two points along direct and curved paths. - Problem 3 shows the work done is the same along different paths moving a negative charge. - Problems 4-5 calculate work done moving charges through fields along straight and curved paths. - Problems 6-7 involve finding electric potentials given field configurations and reference points.
