REFERENCE QUESTION: An electron (-q = -1.602 x 10-19C) moves along a straight line from point a to point b with a separation distance d = 0.65m. Considering the electric field along this line is uniform with magnitude of 1.75x10^7 V/m and directed from point a to point b. What is the force on the electron? ACTUAL QUESTION: Determine the work done on the electron by the electric field in item no. 1.*   A) 1.8223x10^-12 J   B) -1.8223x10^-12 J   C) 1.2x10^-12 J D) -1.2x10^-12 J
