Question: What happens to the electric potential energy when a positive charge moves away from another positive charge?

Options:

  1. It increases
  2. It decreases
  3. It remains the same
  4. It becomes zero

Correct Answer: It decreases

Solution: 

As a positive charge moves away from another positive charge, the electric potential energy decreases due to the repulsive force.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What happens to the electric potential energy when a positive charge moves away from another positive charge?
  • Electric Potential Energy – The energy stored due to the position of charged particles in an electric field.
  • Repulsive Force – The force that acts between two like charges, causing them to push away from each other.
  • Distance and Energy Relationship – As the distance between two like charges increases, the electric potential energy decreases.
