    3.5 x 10^-8 J

    Explanation:

    We are given,

    force experienced by a charge = 3.6 x 10^-4 N; and

    distance of charge from the source of electric field = 9.8 x 10^-5 m

    We know that, Energy = force x distance

    therefore, to find the potential energy of the charge, we need to multiply its applied force with the given distance to get:

    Electric potential energy of a charge = (3.6 x 10^-4) * (9.8 x 10^-5) = 3.5 x 10^-8 J

    Therefore, the potential energy of a charge is 3.5 x 10^-8 J.
