A point charge is located at the origin of a coordinate system. A positive charge is brought in from infinity to a point. The charges are at distance for given electrical potential energy is 3.34 x 10⁷ m.
<h3>What is electric potential energy?</h3>
The electric potential energy is the work done by a test charge to bring it from infinity to a particular location.
The electric potential energy is given by the relation,
V = kQ/r
where k = 9 x 10⁹ J.m/C ,Q = 3 x 10⁻⁹ C, V =8.09 × 10⁻⁷ J.
Substitute the values into the expression to get the distance between the charges.
8.09 × 10⁻⁷ = 9 x 10⁹ x 3 x 10⁻⁹ / r
r =3.34 x 10⁷ m
Thus, the distance between the charges will be 3.34 x 10⁷ m.
