Questions and Answers

Where would a small positive charge be placed to have the maximum electric potential energy?

  • All three points would have the same electric potential energy
  • Point 3 (correct)
  • Point 1
  • Point 2

    • What is the reason behind placing a small positive charge at point 3 for maximum electric potential energy?

  • It is where the positive charge is attracted to (correct)
  • It is halfway between the two charged plates
  • The electric field is constant throughout the two plates
  • It is where the positive charge will gain the most kinetic energy if it is released

    • Why does point 1 not have the maximum electric potential energy for a small positive charge?

  • It is where the positive charge will gain the most kinetic energy if it is released (correct)
  • It is halfway between the two charged plates
  • The electric field is constant throughout the two plates
  • There is no specific reason why point 1 does not have the maximum electric potential energy

    • What effect does the constant electric field throughout the two plates have on the electric potential energy at different points?
