Answer to Question #315667 in Electric Circuits for matthewalvin

Question

Two point charges are brought together as shown below. Calculate the electric potential energy between the two charges if q₁=2 nC and q₂= 3 nC.

Answer 1

Answer

the electric potential energy between the two charges is given by

$U=\frac{kq_1q_2}{r}\\=\frac{9*10^9*2*3*10^{-18}}{r}\\=\frac{54*10^{-9}}{r}$

Putting the distance find the desired results
