  1. A \( 3.42 \times 10^{-4} \text{ J} \)
  2. B \( 34.2 \times 10^{-4} \text{ J} \)
  3. C \( -3.42 \times 10^{-4} \text{ J} \)
  4. D \( -5.5 \times 10^{-4} \text{ J} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( -3.42 \times 10^{-4} \text{ J} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(W=\frac{9 \times 10^9}{0.05}[(3 \times-5)+(-5 \times 2)+(3 \times 2)] \times 10^{-16}\) \(W=\left(1.8 \times 10^{11}\right)[-15-10+6] \times 10^{-16}\) \(W=\left(1.8 \times 10^{11}\right)(-19) \times 10^{-16}\) \(W=-34.2 \times 10^{-5} J\) \(W=-3.42 \times 10^{-4} J\)
