The distance between the plates of a capacitor is $1 \ mm$. An electric field of $5 \times 10^5 \ V/m$ is produced between the two plates. What will be the change in the potential energy $(PE)$ of an electron if it is moved from one plate to the other?

  • A
    $5 \times 10^{-19} \ J$
  • B
    $8 \times 10^{-17} \ J$
  • C
    $5 \times 10^{-17} \ J$
  • D
    $5 \times 10^2 \ J$
