Verified Answer :

From the graph given, the y-axis represents the potential energy while the x axis is represents the displacement. To calculate the potential difference, I think the values from point two to point one should be only subtracted.

Potential difference = 200 - 100 = 100 V/m

Answer:

\(\Delta E=100\)

Explanation:

To find the potential difference between \(x_{i}=2.0m\) and \(x_{f}=3.0m\), we just need to observe which vertical coordinates belong to these given values.

From the graph, we observe that \(x_{i}=2.0m\) correspond to \(E_{i}=100\), because they form the point \((2,100)\) which is given in the graph.

With the same reasoning, we observe that \(E_{f}=200\) corresponds to \(x_{f}=3.0m\), because they both together form the points \((3,200)\).

Now, the potential difference between the given distances, we just need to subtract

\(\Delta E=E_{f} -E_{i}=200-100=100\)

Which also refers to the variation of the potential.

Therefore, the potential differential is \(\Delta E=100\)
