Answer:
The change in potential energy is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The magnitude of the uniform electric field is
The distance traveled by the electron is
Generally the force on this electron is mathematically represented as
Where F is the force and q is the charge on the electron which is a constant value of
Thus
Generally the work energy theorem can be mathematically represented as
Where W is the workdone on the electron by the Electric field and is the change in kinetic energy
Also workdone on the electron can also be represented as
Where considering that the movement of the electron is along the x-axis
So
substituting values
Now From the law of energy conservation
Where is the change in potential energy
Thus
