What is a switch?
A device for making, breaking, or changing the connections in a circuit.
300
Property of a material that depends on the availability of charges that are relatively free to move under the influence of an electric field
Conductivity

A potential difference of 10V exists between two points A and B within an electric field. What is the magnitude of the charge that requires 0.002 J of work to move from point A to B.?
2 x 10^-3 C or 0.002C
V=W/q
10 = 0.02/q
10q = 0.02
q=0.02/10
