QUESTION:
Problem 29P
How far must the point charges q1 = +7.22 μC and q2 = −26.1 μC be separated for the electric potential energy of the system to be −126 J?
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 3
Here we have to find the distance between the two point charges, at which the electrostatic potential energy will be -126 J.
We know that, the electrostatic potential energy can be written quantitatively as,
