Answer:
a) W = - 1.752 10⁻¹⁸ J, b) U = + 1.752 10⁻¹⁸ J
Explanation:
a) work is defined by
W = F . x
the bold letters indicate vectors, in this case the force is electric
F = q E
we substitute
F = q E x
the charge of the electron is
q = - e
F = - e E x
let's calculate
W = - 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 365 3 10⁻²
W = - 1.752 10⁻¹⁸ J
b) the change in potential energy is
U = q ΔV
the potential difference is
ΔV = - E. Δs
we substitute
U = - q E Δs
the charge of the electron is
q = - e
U = e E Δs
we calculate
U = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 365 3 10⁻²
U = + 1.752 10⁻¹⁸ J
