Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Two charges, 5 μC and -3 μC, are positioned 10 cm apart. Calculate the electric potential energy and interpret the sign of the result.

💡 Hint: Convert microcoulombs to coulombs and be mindful of the sign.

Question 2

Consider a scenario where you have three charges: +1 μC, -1 μC, and +1 μC placed in an equipotential configuration. Discuss the changes in potential energy as their positions are altered.

💡 Hint: Focus on how repositioning affects interactions.
