The electric potential at point A is 20 volts and B is – 20 volts. The work done by an external force in moving electron slowly from B to A is-

A

– 6.4 × 10–18 J

B
  • 6.4 × 10–18 J
C

4 × 10–20 J

D

– 4 × 10–20 J

Answer

– 6.4 × 10–18 J

Explanation

Solution

W = q (Vf – Vi) = – e (VA – VB)

W = – 1.6 × 10–19 (20 – (– 20))

= – 1.6 × 10–19 × 40 = – 6.4 × 10–18 J
