<h2>
Answer: 540 J</h2>
Explanation:
The Work 
done by a Force 
refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path.
Now, when the applied force is constant and the direction of the force and the direction of the movement are parallel, the equation to calculate it is:
(1)
In this case both (the force and the distance in the path) are parallel (this means they are in the same direction), so the work performed is the product of the force exerted to push the box 
by the distance traveled 
.
Hence:
(2)
Answer:
B) electrons transferred from sphere to rod.
(2) 1.248 x 10¹¹ electrons were transferred
Explanation:
Given;
initial charge on the plastic rod, q₁ = 15nC
final charge on the plastic rod, q₂ = - 5nC
let the charge acquired by the plastic rod = q
q + 15nC = -5nC
q = -5nC - 15nC
q = -20 nC
Thus, the plastic rod acquired excess negative charge from the metal sphere.
Hence, electrons transferred from sphere to rod
B) electrons transferred from sphere to rod.
2) How many charged particles were transferred?
1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C = 1 electron
20 x 10⁻⁹ C = ?
= 1.248 x 10¹¹ electrons
Thus,1.248 x 10¹¹ electrons were transferred
