Work done = q*(change in potential at those 2 points).
                  = 1.602 x 10^-19 * ( 10 – -4)
                  = 1.602 x 10^-19 x 14 Joule. 
this is for one electron, As work is the scalar quantity,
Total work done = 1.602 x 10^-19 x 14 x 100 Joule. 
                          = 224.28 x 10^-18 Joule.

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to your problem.

Work done = q*(change in potential at those 2 points).
= 1.602 x 10^-19 * ( 10 – -4)
= 1.602 x 10^-19 x 14 Joule.
this is for one electron, As work is the scalar quantity,
Total work done = 1.602 x 10^-19 x 14 x 100 Joule.
= 224.28 x 10^-18 Joule

Thanks and Regards
