Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Calculate the potential energy of a system of three charges: 5μC, -2μC, and 3μC located at points 1 meter apart from each other.

💡 Hint: Break this into parts and calculate each interaction carefully.

Challenge 2 Hard

If you have two point charges, one positive and one negative, how does distance affect the potential energy between them? Can you express it mathematically?

💡 Hint: Think about how charges attract or repel over distance.
