AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the given information and use relevant physics equations. ### Given: - Electric potential (V) = -200 V - Total energy (E_total) = 500 eV - Charge of an electron (e) = 1.6 x 10^-19 C (but we will use it in eV) ### Step 1: Calculate the Potential Energy (PE) ...
