Answer:

work which is required to move an electron from the positive terminal to the negative terminal is

-4μJ

W = -4μJ

Explanation:

Work required to move the charge

W = qΔV

initial point V₁ = 150V

Final point V₂ = -50V

W = q(V₂ -V₁)

= 20 × 10⁹(-50 - 150)

W = -4μJ

work which is required to move an electron from the positive terminal to the negative terminal is

-4μJ
