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
