Answer #1

yeah... the question is a little ambiguous. But if the electron is slowed down, you have to do negative work on it.

initial KE = (1/2) m v^2 = (1/2) * 9.11 x 10^-31 * (2100000)^2 = 2.009 x 10^-18 Joules

final KE = 0

work done on electron = final KE - initial KE =

= 0 - 2.009 x 10^-18 J

= - 2.009 x 10^-18 J
