    How Is Work Calculated When Moving a Charge in an Electric Field?

    I assumed the length of he side of the square to be 0.3m, but it doesn't cancel out. So if the side were 3m, electric potential and work done would be: V=kq/r=(9.0*10^9)(0.2*10^-6)/3=600 N ΔU=q*V=(0.2*10^-6)(600)=1.2*10^-4 J
