An electron is injected directly towards the centre of a large metal plate having a uniform surface charge density of −2.0×10−6C/m2-2.0 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{C} / \mathrm{m}^2. The initial kinetic energy of the electron is 1.6×10−17 J1.6 \times 10^{-17} \mathrm{~J}. The electron is observed to stop as it just reaches the plate. Therefore, the distance between the plate and the point from where the electron was injected is
