Explanation:
The given data is as follows.
Electric potential energy () = ?
Formula to calculate electric potential energy is as follows.
=
=
Thus, we can conclude that the electric potential energy of the pair of charges when the second charge is at point b is .
Answer:
Option A = 1.
Explanation:
So, in order to solve this question we are given the Important infomation or data or parameters in the question above as;
(1). First, Both objects A and D represent fixed.
(2). Both objects A and D are negatively-charged particles of equal magnitude.
(3). "Object B represents a fixed, positively-charged particle (equal, but opposite charge from A and D)."
(4). "Object C shows a moving, positively-charged particle."
So, our mission is to determine the arrow that would correctly show the force of attraction or repulsion on object C caused by the other two objects.
We can do that by drawing out the forces of attraction and the resultants. Therefore, CHECK THE ATTACHED FILE/PICTURE FOR THE DRAWINGS.
The forces of attraction due to objects A and B on on object C will be towards themselves. Hence, the resultant is ONE(1).
