Homework Equations
-QV=W
The Attempt at a Solution
The answer is -18 J. MY confusion is whether this is the work done by the electric field or an external force? My guess is it is the work done by an external force, however my book says different? Or maybe I'm misinterpreting the question can you confirm that it's an external force?
