Answer: 4 x 106
That’s how you write forty million in scientific notation.
Explanation:
Given that,
Electric field = 5750 N/C
Charge 
Distance = 5.50 cm
(a). When the charge is moved in the positive x- direction
We need to calculate the change in electric potential energy
Using formula of electric potential energy



Put the value into the formula


The change in electric potential energy is 
(b). When the charge is moved in the negative x- direction
We need to calculate the change in electric potential energy
Using formula of electric potential energy



Put the value into the formula


The change in electric potential energy is 
Hence, This is the required solution.
