![**Educational Content: Energy and Work Calculation**

**Problem Statement:**
If a system has a change in energy of 400 J and produces 200 J of work, how much heat was added to the system?
**Options:**
- 800 J
- 200 J
- -200 J
- 600 J
**Answer Explanation:**
To determine how much heat was added to the system, we can use the first law of thermodynamics which can be stated as:
\[ \Delta U = Q - W \]
where:
- \(\Delta U\) is the change in internal energy of the system.
- \(Q\) is the heat added to the system.
- \(W\) is the work done by the system.
Given:
- \(\Delta U = 400 \text{ J}\)
- \(W = 200 \text{ J}\)
We need to find \(Q\). Rearranging the equation for \(Q\):
\[ Q = \Delta U + W \]
Substituting the given values:
\[ Q = 400 \text{ J} + 200 \text{ J} \]
\[ Q = 600 \text{ J} \]
Therefore, the correct answer is:
\[ \boxed{600 \text{ J}} \]
