Answer:

The potential energy change is 0.596 J.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Potential difference =14.9 V

Charge q =0.0400 C

We need to calculate the change potential energy

The potential energy change is the product of the charge and potential difference.

Using formula of change potential energy


\Delta U=q\Delta V


\Delta U=0.0400*14.9


\Delta U=0.596\ J

Hence, The potential energy change is 0.596 J.
