Answer

$K_f=4.5J$

Work Step by Step

We know that: $dU=-dK$ $\frac{KqQ}{r_f}-\frac{KqQ}{r_i}=-(K_f-K_i)$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\frac{9\times 10^9\times 7.5\times 10^{-6}\times 20\times 10^{-6}}{0.20}-\frac{9\times 10^9\times 7.5\times 10^{-6}\times 20\times 10^{-6}}{0.60}=-(K_f-0)$ $K_f=4.5J$
