Answer

$(V_B-V_A)=-157V$

Work Step by Step

According to the given scenario: $W_{electric}+W_{external}=KE_{final}-KE_{initial}$ $-q(V_B-V_A)+W_{external}=KE_{final}-0$ This simplifies to: $(V_B-V_A)=\frac{W_{external}-KE_{final}}{q}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $(V_B-V_A)=\frac{15.0\times 10^{-4}-4.82\times 10^{-4}}{-6.50\times 10^{-6}}\approx-157V$
