Answer

$\Delta x=0.44mm$

Work Step by Step

We know that: $F=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_{\circ}}e$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $F=\frac{2.0\times 10^{-6}}{8.85\times 10^{-12}}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}=3.6\times 10^{-14}N$ Now; $W=F.\Delta x$ This can be rearranged as: $\Delta x=\frac{W}{F}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\Delta x=\frac{1.6\times 10^{-17}}{3.6\times 10^{-14}}=4.4\times 10^{-4}=0.44\times 10^{-3}=0.44mm$
