Change in electric potential energy: 121.5 nJ

Explanation:

For a charged particle moving in an electric field, the change in electric potential energy of the particle is given by

$\Delta U = q \Delta V$

where:

q is the charge of the particle

$\Delta V$ is the potential difference between the initial and final position of the particle

For the point charge in this problem, we have:

$q=+4.50 nC$ is the charge

$\Delta V=+27.0 V$ is the potential difference

Therefore, the change in electric potential energy is

$\Delta U=(+4.50)(+27.0)=121.5 nJ$
